Lowercase Brewing Polotmavy Pivo

4.6%

Have you ever had a Vietnamese Coffee? And by that, we mean Vietnamese coffee shaken with sweetened condensed milk? If you haven’t, it would definitely provide an expansion of your palate – they are so bitter yet so sweet and somehow manage to meet in the middle. As brewers, we try to find a balance between hop bitterness and malt sweetness but that middle ground becomes harder and harder to achieve the further away from the center we travel. 

This is the goal of our Semi-dark lager, the Vietnamese coffee of the beer world. Starting gravity was 13.5 plato and terminal gravity was 5 plato leading to an abv of 4.6% with 30 ibus. The brewers out there will cringe at this. It was risky and hard to achieve but we hope that it gives our friends in the states a little glimpse of what makes Czech-style lagers so unique in the beer world. Decocted Bohemian malt, cold-steeped dark malts, and concentrated Czech Saaz hops. This was a very small batch so we can only crank out one case per location at this time.
