Arches Bohemian Riot

In 1838, after nearly 600 years of inconsistent and poor quality beer, the people of Pilsen (an old Bohemian town) began an upheaval throughout the city, dumping full barrels in the streets to show their dissatisfaction. The city officials formed a city-owned brewery that would begin brewing only bottom-fermented beers. Lagers were born. This classic style is built on a simple grain bill, brewed with traditional lager ingredients delivering a clean, light-bodied style. Noble hops add slight bitterness while allowing the distinctive spicy and piney aroma characteristics to show through. With a crisp, dry finish, this style is best enjoyed in warm temperatures.
