Bohemia Regent Dark Lager Review
July 1, 2009
Bohemia Regent Dark Lager is the last beer review in The Brew Club’s short set of dark lager beer reviews. As I’ve mentioned before, dark lagers have a long heritage, dating back hundreds of years before the creation of Pilsner Urquell in 1842.

Dark Lagers can trace their lineage back to before Joseph Grolle ‘invented’ Pilsner in 1842, before Grolle all beers tended to be dark and cloudy, and those brewed using the European bottom fermenting techniques would be lagers. The first to gain a reputation for its dark lager beers was Kulmbach in Franconia, Germany where monks have been brewing since 1349.

Dark lagers are brewed using the bottom fermenting yeasts and are stored (or lagered) for an extended period, as are pale lagers, but the barley used for the malt is roasted to give the distinctive dark colour and coffee/chocolate flavours. They tend to also be sweeter than pale lagers.
Budweiser Dark Lager – A Beer Review
June 21, 2009
Traditionally, in the Czech Republic, dark lagers (known as Tmave) were considered to be “women’s drinks”. The men would consume vast steins of frothy pale lager, brewed to around 5% ABV, while ‘the ladies’ would timidly sip smaller glasses of 3.5% dark lager.
