A pale lager with the soul of Tasmania. This is the new beer special, Galaxy Lager 11%!

Starting in May 2025, you’ll find a new beer on tap at Pivovar Kolkovna: Galaxy Lager 11%.
It’s a pale, unfiltered, and unpasteurized lager, cold-hopped with the Australian hop variety Galaxy. This hop is primarily grown in Tasmania and the state of Victoria, where the local climate gives it a distinctive aroma of citrus and tropical fruits—something you’ll recognize immediately in the beer.

We brewed it using a combination of the aforementioned Australian Galaxy hops, German Magnum, which imparts a spicy aroma, and Žatec semi-early red-bine hops, the king of Czech hop varieties.

The malt base is made up of Pilsner malt, Munich malt, and Caramunich III, which together give the beer a rich body and a subtle caramel undertone.

Galaxy Lager has a gravity of 11.4%, an alcohol content of 5%, and a rather intense bitterness of 50 IBU, perfectly balancing the malt's sweetness.
The beer remains unfiltered and unpasteurized to preserve its natural, full-bodied flavor.

With Galaxy Lager, we have brought together Czech brewing craftsmanship and the wild spirit of Australian nature. :-)

It pairs excellently with heavier dishes, such as our suckling pig knuckle or duck confit. The beer’s higher bitterness refreshes the palate between bites, while the hop compounds help support digestion of richer meats.

Come and give it a try. You’ll see that with the warmer weather, just one Galaxy Lager won’t be enough!
