13 Degrees
Czech Dark Lager
5.2% ABV
“Tmavé Pivo” literally means “Dark Beer” in Czech, and it’s a bit of a rarity, even in its home country. Although overshadowed by world-renowned Czech Pilsners, the Czech Dark Lager has been steadily growing in popularity for its rich, malty complexity that manages to deliver a balanced and refreshing experience. The ideal version should be slightly sweet with a light caramel flavor, a noticeably full body, and a healthy charge of Saaz hops for a bittering balance that delivers what the Czech brewers call “pitelnost,” meaning “drinkability.” To get the body to stand up to the fullness of the dark malts and bitterness of the Saaz hops, we crafted a 13° wort (degrees Plato is the standard measurement for the density of brewer's wort), bigger than similar lagers, and fermented it with the same yeast we use to make our award-winning Czech-Style Pils, Over the Ivy. Pick up a 4-pack and raise a glass with us to the unsung style of Czech brewing. Na zdraví!
13 Degrees will be available on draft & in 4pk cans to-go in our taproom on Friday, February 6th. Distribution across Iowa will begin on Monday, February 9th.
