Czech collaboration. Steam beer is a historical beer phenomenon created by deflecting from a German brewing tradition in California by the end of the 19th century. Simple in its ingredients, process and nature, it’s always been a light, amber brew defined by a combination of light maltiness and low hoppiness. While its most famous producer has been going through a rough patch recently, together with the Clock crew we decided to increase its fighting chance in Central Europe and brewed one to gain more local support.
