Taddington Moravka Lager

The Jeruselum Tavern, a St Peters owned pub just a stones throw from my office recently put on a new lager to much fanfare from other bloggers. Well anyway I needed to meet up with a fellow partner in crime so we decided to check it out. Moravka Lager (4.4% abv) is a flavoursome pilsner style lager which has a heavy Czech influence. Whilst not as bitter or buttery (ie diacetyl) as your usual Czech pils, this beer certainly does hit the spot, and is one of the best lagers I have necked this year! I think it may be unpasteurized as it remains quite fresh, and rich in both hop bitterness and that classic Saaz grassy aroma.

The Taddington Brewery is located in the Peak District. It is a relative newcomer to the scene and started brewing in 2007.
