New Lone Tree Brewing Czech Lager Showcases Traditional Czech Malt and Lagering Techniques

COLORADO—Lone Tree Brewing Company Czech Lager is now available in cans and on draft for the spring season. This classic Czech-style golden Pilsner, a popular tasting room beer turned production batch, was brewed with traditional Czech malt from Tchecomalt. Find it at both Lone Tree Brewing tasting rooms and across Colorado while supplies last.

Lone Tree Brewing works closely with Country Malt Group, so it seemed fitting to build this simple yet complex Pilsner recipe with quality malt from one of the oldest Czech malting companies in their portfolio, Tchecomalt (circa 1869). Tchecomalt's floor-malted Pilsen, Vienna, and Munich malts created the base for this full-bodied, hop-forward, clean-finishing lager with a traditional Czech lager yeast profile. Lone Tree Czech Lager is 4.5% ABV for supreme drinkability.

“Since our inception almost 15 years ago, we’ve understood the importance of showcasing classic lager styles from all beer cultures,” says Jerry Siote, Lone Tree Brewing Director of Operations. “Our German-style Helles Lager showed our early patrons that simple recipes with proven methods and ingredients could result in a complex and drinkable beer. Moving into our intermediate brewing years, our Mexican Lager has become a staple beer that people can rely on over and over. Given the current trends for quality, straightforward lagers, we felt that highlighting the rich heritage of Czech culture could illustrate our depth and variation within the light lager category.”

This Pilsner was aggressively hopped with a new hop for Lone Tree, Zuper Saazer, grown at Hop Head Farms in Southwest Michigan. This variety imparted aromas of spice and a noble hop finish with higher alpha acids. “We like a little fight in our Pilsners, IPAs, and other hop-forward beers from an IBU standpoint. There's been an alarming trend in the industry where bitterness began to carry a negative connotation, which we hope to dispel with this lager.”

Lone Tree Czech Pilsner is now available in 12 oz cans and kegs in the Colorado market, and is currently on draft at both brewery locations for a limited time.
