River Rail is a Czech-style pilsner: a bit richer than the lager, a lot more bitter, and poured with a thick wet head the way it is poured in Plzeň.

How we brew it.
We decoct part of the mash, the old slow way, which is where the deeper bread flavour comes from. The hops are Saaz. Ask for it poured hladinka and you will get the classic tall foam cap.
Why we call it River Rail
Named for the rail spur that once ran down to the station to bring the generators in.
