COAT CZECH 12° Czech-style Pale Lager | ABV: 5.0% IBU: 44

It’s back. It’s finally back! After far too long of a hiatus, Coat Czech, our Czech-style 12° pale lager has returned to a LUKR faucet in our taproom. Inspired by the many pale lagers our brewers drank during their travels around Pilsen & Prague, we’d like to think our Světlý Ležák is about as Czech as you can get without a plane ticket. Brewed utilizing an enhanced double decoction mash regimen, floor-malted Moravian Pilsner malt, Czech-grown Saaz hops and a classic Czech lager strain, Coat Czech is built around an obsessive dedication to bring some of the magic of Bohemian lagers to our community. After a couple of lengthy brew days, we fermented this golden crusher cold & slow, then lagered it for seven weeks until it approached something close to the ever elusive pitelnost. Unfined & 100% naturally carbonated, Coat Czech pours with a slight rustic haze, resembling the full-flavored nefiltrované examples of pale lager enjoyed in Czechia. We get notes of honey-dipped graham crackers, spicy white pepper, savory herbs, lemon peel, fresh baked baguette, and the romance of knocking back Hladinky & Šnyty of golden-hued all night.

SPOOLBOY 10° Czech-style Pale Lager | ABV: 4.0% IBU: 34

Our dive into Czech styles continues to go deeper with this release. Spoolboy, our new 10° Czech-style Pale Lager, brings the signature malt and hop balance of Bohemian lagers to a more svelte, 4.0% ABV package. Named after the “spuhlboy” glass-cleaning stations used by Czech tapsters, our Desítka features a base of undermodified Haná pilsner malt that underwent an extensive, enhanced double decoction mash regimen. Haná barley is the same variety used in the original Pilsner beers of the 1840s, and while not exactly easy to work with, it brings some incredible bready malt flavors and aromas that match this style perfectly. We hopped Spoolboy with Czech-grown Saaz and some really fantastic Sterling. Fermentation was conducted with the ever-reliable Urquell “H-strain.” Like all of our lagers, Spoolboy was spunded and is 100% naturally carbonated, giving the beer ultra-fine bubbles, persistent foam, and a rounder mouthfeel. We then lagered this one for seven weeks in one of our horizontal lagering tanks. We’re getting notes of orange blossom honey, bright lemon verbena, late nights in Prague, frosted bran flake cereal, and freshly baked rohlík.

POLO TEE Polotmavé | ABV: 4.7% IBU: 37

Polo Tee Polotmavé, our Czech-style amber lager, is the first of a few Czech-inspired lagers you’ll see hitting our taps over the coming weeks. For this one we utilized an enhanced double decoction mash regimen and selected two types of floor-malted Bohemian barley along with a small amount of crystal malt and roast malt. Polo Tee is hopped entirely with Czech-grown Saaz & follows a very traditional hopping schedule to yield a beer with balancing bitterness & subtle hop flavor. We fermented this one oh so cold and spunded it before moving it to one of our horizontal lagering tanks to cold condition for six weeks. We’re getting notes of rustic bread crust, Amaro Nonino, subtle minerality, warm baking spices, and graham cracker.

FELT LIKE IT Schankbier | ABV: 2.9% IBU: 24

Light in alcohol but not in flavor, this little 2.9% gem of a lager is perfect for those times you want to sit back, hang out, and settle into a proper session. While many modern-day schankbiers and leichtbiers are brewed with Pilsner malt, we instead chose to use Isaria 1924—a malt made from old-school German heirloom barley. While more difficult to work with than modern barley varieties, the robust, bready qualities of this malt help lend more character to a small beer like this one.

Felt Like It underwent a lengthy multi-step mash process and received a single decoction to help elevate the beer’s malt character, foam stability, and mouthfeel. We hopped this tiny lager with the last of our Tettnang-grown Mittelfrüh, which we find to be brighter and less herbal than the more common Hallertau-grown Mittelfrüh. Being ever conscious of a small beer needing body and mouthfeel, we fermented Felt Like It cold and slow with one of our favorite lager strains known for accentuating malt, then spunded it at the end of fermentation for 100% natural carbonation. Finally, as a nod to the kellerbiers of Franconia, Felt Like It was lagered for a short three-week period before being packaged.

We’re getting notes of fresh bauernbrot, toasted hazelnuts, freshly struck match, subtle lemon peel, clover, and riding bikes through the Franconian countryside.

CHAIN STITCH Munich-style Helles Lager | ABV: 4.8% IBU: 21

A beer our Head Brewer has been dreaming about making for years. Inspired by the immensely drinkable, yet characterful pale lagers of Bavaria, we are proud to bring you Chain Stitch, our Munich-style Helles. A celebration of balance, subtlety, & traditional German brewing methods, we brewed Chain Stitch with all Weyermann Specialty Malts Barke malts, a lengthy step mash regimen tailored to produce a beer with a dry finish that still retains a rounded mouthfeel, and hopped it with restrained amounts of Hallertau Mittelfrüh for subtle floral notes and just enough bitterness to balance things out. We fermented Chain Stitch cold & slow with German lager yeast and spunded it near the end of fermentation for 100% natural carbonation. We then lagered our Helles for 10 full weeks, letting time take the place of filtration and fining agents and allowing the beer to become as balanced and smooth as possible. Pouring a pale gold color with fluffy white foam, we get notes of Hawaiian sweet rolls, fresh-cut hay, subtle floral aromas, and settling in at a biergarten to enjoy more than a few half-liter pours in the shade of chestnut trees.

POPLIN Italian-style Pilsner | ABV: 5.1% IBU: 38

Pilsner fans, rejoice! Poplin, our Italian-style pils, returns to the Selvedge tap list this week! Brewed with a base of Weyermann Specialty Malts’ Mediterranean-grown and German-malted Eraclea pilsner malt for delicate, crackery maltiness, Poplin is then kettle-hopped with generous amounts of Hallertau Mittelfrüh, Spalter Select, and Saphir. As a nod to the “OG” of Italian pils, Tipopils, we opted to cold dry-hop Poplin with more Spalter Select and Saphir for the entirety of this beer’s eighty days of lagering. It’s the first time we’ve dry-hopped a beer in one of our lagering tanks, and we’re really excited about the increase in nuance it’s giving this pils. Like all of our lagers, Poplin was spunded at the end of fermentation and is 100% naturally carbonated, resulting in zippy but fine carbonation and superior foam.

We get notes of crackery malt, Meyer lemon peel, some nice snappy bitterness, orange marmalade, green tea, and verdant flowering thyme blossoms.

BLANC CANVAS Beer/Wine Hybrid Lager | ABV: 5.1% IBU: 36

What happens when you blur the line between beer and wine while working within the context of lagerbier? That’s exactly the question posed when Present Company Wine approached us about making a beer together. Blanc Canvas is the result. We began by brewing a Nelson Sauvin–hopped Pils, step-mashed with Murphy & Rude Pilsner malt, then co-fermented the wort with local Sauvignon Blanc juice. That fermentation was carried out by a lager strain known for producing subtle floral esters and crisp finishing beers. Toward the end of fermentation, we spunded Blanc Canvas for 100% natural carbonation, then lagered it until the beer and grape characters reached a balance we felt was just right.

We’re getting notes of white peach, zesty verjus, apricot preserves, verdant grassiness, gooseberry, that height-of-harvest, post-shift beer energy, and tropical lychee.

TH(RED) COUNT Red IPA | ABV: 7.2% IBU: 70

We’re feeling pretty celebratory over here in our Taproom for this beer. Introducing Th(red) Count Red IPA — a beer brewed for the cooler days ahead. Hopped with Cascade, Amarillo, Chinook, and Simcoe, this one jumps out of the glass with classic Pacific Northwest hop aromas. Subtle, toffee-like maltiness is countered by a dry finish and unapologetic bitterness, resulting in a beer that we can’t seem to put down. We’re getting notes of sticky resin, pine forests after a rain, the crispy top of crème brûlée, oily grapefruit zest, subtle rosemary, and clementine.

HERRINGBONE New England Hazy IPA | ABV: 6.5% IBU: low

Longtime favorite Herringbone, our original Hazy IPA, is back on tap! Forever chasing a specific vision, our brewers have slowly tweaked this beer over time, incorporating new methods and experimenting with new-to-market hop products. Brewed with North American Pilsner and pale malts, along with heaps of oats and wheat, Herringbone is hopped with Citra, Hull Melon, Elani, Citra HyperBoost, and Elani Quantum Brite.

In this most recent iteration, we’re getting big notes of orange creamsicle, zesty clementines, and tropical fruits.

HOUNDSTOOTH Ordinary Bitter | ABV: 3.4% IBU: 26

Houndstooth, a staff and customer favorite, is back on tap and ready for all of your lunch beer needs. As with previous iterations, we mashed our award-winning Ordinary Bitter with floor-malted Maris Otter, Golden Naked Oats, and just a little bit of Crystal 80 the hopped with with East Kent Goldings and First Gold. Low abv, subtle esters and balanced bitterness make this supremely crushable British-inspired ale perfect for enjoying any time. This beer pours a deep and satisfying gold color. We get notes of apricot jam, pizza crust, water crackers, white tea, tobacco blossoms and a moreish quality that keeps us reaching for another pint.

SHAWL & OATS British Oatmeal Stout | ABV: 4.6% IBU: 24

You don’t have to be a “Maneater,” a “Rich Girl,” or rely on your old man’s money to let this addition to the Selvedge tap list make your dreams come true. Shawl & Oats, our svelte little Oatmeal Stout, returns to the taproom today! This one draws inspiration from that ubiquitous beer of the same style hailing from North Yorkshire, England—you know, the one famously fermented in square stone vats. Yeah, that one.

Coming in at a sessionable 4.6%, Shawl & Oats is built with a less-than-straightforward grain bill of floor-malted Maris Otter, malted oats, Golden Naked Oats, and a collection of @murphyrudemalting crystal and roasted malts. Leaning into the style’s “across the pond” origins, we opted to ferment this little pub stout with one of our favorite British ale yeasts and judiciously hopped it with some truly choice Fuggle.

This time around, we made a few more casks than normal and are serving Shawl & Oats exclusively on our beer engine for a few days before it hits the taps. So don’t be “Out of Touch”—get over to the taproom now to try this one.

We’re getting notes of velvety milk chocolate, oatmeal raisin cookies, toasted hazelnuts, earthy molasses, your granddad’s pipe tobacco, and rich toasted bread.

BEECH BLANKET Bamberg-style Rauchbier | ABV: 5.0% IBU: 27

Wrap yourself in the rich, smokey comfort of Beech Blanket, our newest smoked beer offering. Brewed almost entirely with a blend of German beechwood smoked malt and custom-smoked Murphy & Rude Malting dark Munich malt, Beech Blanket is inspired by the classic Rauchbiers of Bamberg, Germany. Drawing on that inspiration, we chose a double decoction mash regimen for Beech Blanket, giving the finished beer a luxurious mouthfeel and a level of robust maltiness that manages to poke through the considerable smoke. We fermented this one with a German lager strain famous for producing full-bodied, malt-forward lagerbier, spunded the tank for 100% natural carbonation and then lagered it for six weeks. Deeply smokey with rich malty toast flavors and a smooth mouthfeel, we’re really loving this beer. We get big notes of campfire, smoked meats, dark rustic bread, late evenings in charming Bamberg pubs, your favorite leather armchair, and smoked dates.

In addition to our beers, we offer a variety of wines and ciders.
