Color and Contrast
Bookhouse Brewing

The idea was to make a classic Czech-style lager, using locally-sourced ingredients as much as possible. The end result landed right between what we'd think of as "amber" in some light, and "dark" in others. Flavor-wise, the distinction is moot, as it bears elements of both camps; rich sweetness from a small amount of caramelized rye, toasted biscuits from the Maillard products that show up in the base malt, a calming softness from the lager yeast. Altogether, it's a reflection of both complexity, and ultimate simplicity - a direct hit to the mug, if you will. Both perfect for necking down, and patient sipping, it'll find a place in your heart one way or another. Brewed in collaboration with UnHitched Brewing.
