Saaz Elf
As a treat to ourselves for hitting 11 years, we decided it was time for brewing a version of a traditional Czech Pilsner.
The one lots of people know is the beloved Pilsner Urquell. This was the first golden lager produced, and was instantly a hit. Our Czech Pils differs in many ways from the other pilsners we produce. We start with Moravian barley malt and Czech Saaz hops, the building blocks of any Czech pils, and finish with some unique Wiseacre touches. The hops are a supercharged Cryo version of Saaz, and we added some other unique methods including a lengthy boil (for clean bitterness) as well as an exceedingly lengthy 8 week conditioning time. This makes a smoothness and hearty body in the beer that is the perfect complement to the snappy, herbal finish provided by the Saaz hops. This is an elegant stunner of a beer, but there is certainly no reason to fuss over it. This beer is draft only, so come over and try one to help us celebrate 11 years!
