It’s easy to overlook tmavé pivo, the Czech Republic’s other beer style. Long overshadowed by the world-famous pale lagers—or pilsners—that originated in the Czech city of Pilsen, the dark and rich tmavé pivo is obscure both literally and figuratively—a relative rarity that accounts for less than 3.5 percent of total Czech beer production today. Our version has a bit more roast than is usual for this style, yet is still very clean and approachable. A great beer for cold nights and pairs well with grilled red meat/vegetables.
