For the second year in a row Ground Breaker Brewing is starting the spring by releasing two lager beers. The Portland, Oregon-based gluten-free craft brewery released Fête à Têff, coinciding with the 11th annual SheBrew Beer and Cider Festival. A lager brewed with whole grain teff and Lórien hops, Fête à Têff, is a creation of Head Brewer Gloria Zeiger. Czechia Later, a Bohemian-style Pilsner, is set for release on Wednesday, March 25th.

On March 7th, the SheBrew marked its eleventh year celebrating women in beer. This was the fourth SheBrew entry that Zeiger has submitted. “It’s a really whimsical beer,” said Zeiger. “Its teff base brings a full Graham-cracker-like maltiness. The hop aroma… while subtle, is reminiscent of wildflower meadow.”

Czechia Later returned to the 2026 Ground Breaker release calendar, having been released for the first time in March of 2025. The beer was an immediate success and finished the year as the highest-selling release of the year for the brewery. “It’s one thing when you love the beer,” said Jesse Bufton, Manager of Ground Breaker Brewing. “But when our customers love a beer as much as we do it’s a great feeling. Especially when it’s not an IPA.”

At 4.6 percent alcohol by volume, Czechia Later carries with it the complex, grainy maltiness as well as the spicy and floral hop bouquet associated with the style.

Fête à Têff and Czechia Later are available in 16-ounce cans and in kegs at the Ground Breaker Brewing pub and from Ground Breaker’s distribution partners across the country. Cans can also be purchased for shipment to Oregon, Ohio, Kentucky, Vermont, New Hampshire, Virginia and Washington, DC through their online beer store.
