Look, we have a Czech friend named Adam. Heās actually a second generation brewer, and his family brewery is located in the countryside 30 miles outside of Prague. And we think he makes the best Czech pilsner in the world. And he told us to name our beer this word. How do you pronounce it? You canāt. Itās that awesome of a word. (Ok, you can: Ha-La-Dinka) And what does this word mean? Well, thereās no clear translation in English. But most closely, itās āthe perfect pourā – level headed with three fingers of wet foam. Itās a combination of something physical, combined with an experience, and a vibe. Itās deep, people. And so is this beer. We used Weyermann Floor Malted Bohemian Pils and hopped it with a bag of Saaz Special that Adam gave us, along with more regular Czech Saaz that Hollingbery sold us (we think those hops are special too). So donāt worry about butchering the name, itās all downhill once it hits your lips. Er, uphill. It gets easier, is what weāre saying.
Na zdravĆ! (pronounced: Naz-Drah-vee⦠it means āCHEERS!ā… obviously.)
