Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline page lists no style named International Dark Lager; it does list Czech-Style Dark Lager, and its European-Style Dark Lager entry calls for 4.8 to 5.3 percent ABV and 20 to 35 IBU, while American-Style Dark Lager allows 4.1 to 5.6 percent ABV. The published 4.6% ABV fits the American range and sits just under the European one.

Research Notes

  • The brewery site has no page for Czech Dark; its drinks menu lists a seasonal named Dark Lager with no specs, probably the same beer but not confirmed.
  • ABV, style, hops and description come from the Untappd listing; Untappd shows no IBU.
  • No 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
  • Researched 2026-10-13.
  • Field pass 2026-10-13: Additional bitterness and brewery-page searches found no IBU or exact Czech Dark product page. The 2024 festival program gives 4.5% ABV, versus the retained 4.6% on Untappd; this historical difference does not supply either requested field.
  • Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery site has no Czech Dark page; the description on file comes from Untappd.
