pFriem Czech Dark Lager

Czech-Style Dark Lager is wonderfully complex, delivering notes of toffee and dates, with a kiss of roasted malts and milk chocolate.

It’s brewed in the spirit of Prague’s 500-year lager tradition, inviting us all to party like it’s 1499.

Pairs smartly with roasted meats, rustic veggie dishes and a bit of Euro cool.

Pilsners dominate Americans’ perceptions of Czech beer, but the Central European country has a dark, beery secret. The second most popular beer in the Czech Republic is near-black tmavé pivo, or “dark beer,” a brewing style that actually predates pilsner – and is widely popular in Czech taverns.

At Prague’s oldest brewery, U Fleků, founded in 1499, you’re only going to drink tmavé pivo with your goulash. U Fleků doesn’t brew any other kind of beer. Czech dark lagers have the complexity of Bavarian Dunkels with the smooth dark color of Schwarzbiers.

pFriem Czech Dark Lager combines traditional floor malted pilsner and dark malts with debittered roast malt. Perle, Czech Saaz and Tettnang hops balance the malts and lend to a truly beautiful bouquet!
