Czech Christmas Beer
Written by cd on December 20, 2007 – 7:00 am -Czechs do take their beer seriously; they even cook up a special kind of beer for this holiday and organize Christmas Beer Markets.
Occasionally called sv�te?n� piva (holiday beers), Christmas beers are brewed at higher gravities than standard Czech lagers, generally starting at 13� and heading north fast, resulting in slightly (or much) higher alcohol than normal. (It�s cold here, people � we need something to get the blood going.) Unfortunately, these are almost always limited editions and can be very difficult to find, either on tap or in bottles.
