Tmavé Speciální Pivo (Czech Dark Lager), 5.6% ABV

Though water is the first ingredient, this beer is More Than Rain, Dog. In fact, it’s a Czech Dark Lager, the name on the label translating more directly to “Dark Special Beer”, special meaning stronger than your standard—but we think it’s special for reasons beyond its robustness.

In keeping with their origin, this Czech lager is refined, flavorful, and balanced. It sips softer than Germany’s take on the same style and rocks a richer body to boot. As a baseline, Czech brewing practices are among the best. From plan to pour, we kept this brew true to form and adhered to traditional measures and methods wherever possible. We sourced semi-early red-bine Saaz hops from the region formerly known as Bohemia, used water softened through reverse osmosis, and even ordered traditional Czech taps to top things off. These faucets are completely different from the ones you’re used to seeing ‘round these parts. They’re designed to dispense tight, dense bubbles and produce pours to please palates at every level of foam fondness.

Until all lost dogs can gather together for a pint poured from side-pull faucets at Rain Dog Bar or our taproom, a can of this fits the Bill, so let’s all raise one and muster a chorus more than thunder. Wild Years aside, we’re excited for you to Czech this Bohemian Lager out.
