Most of our lagerbiers are fermented with our workhouse of house lager yeast from the historic Bavarian Weihenstephan brewery. ​A couple of times a year we find a way to shuffle in a pitch of Czech lager yeast from the renowned Budvar brewery in České Budějovice. We embrace this change not only in how we treat the beer in the brewhouse and cellar but also in the yeast character​ the Budvar strain provides.​ This Czech lager yeast not only produces less sulfur but, heightened malt character and fullness. To accentuate this heightened Moravian malt character B​eˈrēk 13° went through a triple decoction. To balance the fullness of this 13°​ Czech-style pilsner a firm 45 IBUs of Czech Saaz was sprinkled into the kettle.
​Just like in previous versions of Bəˈrēk expect herbal and grassy notes of a verdant Eastern European countryside, balanced with a Veka bready maltiness and firm bitterness.
