You assign an IP address only inside the container.

This profile is wrong. Here is the right one:
---
$ cat /etc/netctl/lxc_lan_bridge
Description="LAN bridge for LXC containers"
Connection=bridge
Interface=br0
SkipNoCarrier="yes"
BindsToInterfaces=()
IP=static
Address=(10.137.0.1/24)

Also, since you are running systemd >= 209, you can use networkd. Here are the
config files:
---
$ cat /etc/systemd/network/lxc_bridge.netdev
[NetDev]
Name=br0
Kind=bridge
$ cat /etc/systemd/network/lxc_bridge.network 
[Match]
Name=br0

[Network]
Description=LAN bridge for LXC containers
DHCP=false

[Address]
Address=10.137.0.1/24

Now:
* Populate the iptables FORWARD chain to route traffic from your physical
interface to the bridge and back.
* Inside the container, get rid of dhcpcd, and use either networkd or netctl
to assign a static IP like you would do on a physical host.
* The simplest way to take care of DNS (that is without any additional host
configuration) is to use a static resolv.conf inside the container with a
public DNS service, e.g.
---
$ cat /var/lib/lxc/appserver1/rootfs/etc/resolv.conf 
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
