Name: This name is just the cutest word play we could think of. It isn’t uncommon as a beer name, but it makes the point we think. It’s called a Tmáve Pivo in the Czech Republic, but we had a hard time working with that - and we also lightened it up from the traditional stout color.

Style: This is a Dark Czech Lager (3D in the 2015 BJCP Style Guide). We sourced Czech malt, small farm hops - all from within and around Prague. Even the yeast is from the Czech Republic. This is what we mean when we say we like to bring the best ingredients for beer - that are made and grown all over the world - to OLB so we can craft something local, yet far away. This beer brings roast and toasty flavors to the forefront; you can drink it all year round.

Story: We had such a good time with our Green Bottle Premium Czech Pilsner that we wanted to try another version of a beer from that region. Regional styles of light lagers have such amazing differences that you have to experience to believe. We hope you enjoy this one.

History of One Lake Brewing Releases:

• Fall 2022

Ingredients: Continental European floor-malted malts - your favorite brand (check to see if they have small batch or single farm options!). Saaz hops at several additions balance the malt bill. Bring it all together with a yeast that makes you FEEL like you are drinking a beer on the Danube during the gloaming.

Methods: Don’t mash too low as the lager yeast is going do to they drying out for you. Long boil due to the very light malt and hops added throughout the process from first wort to flameout. Long, low, slow and delicate lager fermentation and conditioning. A few months at freezing temps when finished do this beer a tremendous amount of good.
