Sometimes, you have to do things the old-fashioned way. This classic Czech-style Pale Lager, a true labor of love brewed with our good friends at Good Word Brewing & Public House [@goodwordbrewing], is a tribute to tradition and a testament to hard work. Brewed true to style with a traditional decoction mash technique, this beer earned its name the hard way. Forty-two Buckets is a nod to the forty-two literal buckets of hot, heavy mash we had to haul by hand from the mash tun up a flight of stairs to the kettle. We earned every single sip of this beer. A portion of select Tchecomalt carefully procured from @countrymalt adds a delicate, toasty character and a rich golden color to the malt body. In the kettle, the noble Saaz Comfort hops from our friends at @hopandstuff impart a gentle, spicy floral aroma, while a late whirlpool addition of Kazbek hops brings a subtle citrusy edge. The result? A super easy-drinking 4% ABV lager that's exceptionally crisp, clean, and endlessly refreshing. Grab a glass and taste the hard work for yourself.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear gold colored body that supports a thin white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up a blend of spicy hops and modestly sweet bread followed by a dash of fruity esters. The taste is similar as I get mildly sweet type malts, some sweet bread and then an understated degree of spicy Saaz like hop bitterness. I think it brings up some spicy hop flavor swirling around in the malts and breadiness too. Fun crushers for sure.
