Sipping non-filtered beer directly from the cellar has ranked amongst brewing traditions since time immemorial. All you had to do was pull out a beech wedge (called “cvikl” in Czech) from the barrel and the fresh drink poured out. That is where our non-filtered beer got its name Cvikl from as well as an extra ration of yeast.

Every beer tastes its best while still in the brewery’s cellars, as it is not affected by heat, light, movement or oxygen. Such a fresh and full flavour with mildly higher bitterness can be accomplished by keeping the yeast in the beer, which also causes the characteristic matt haze of the non-filtered beer.

Upíjení nefiltrovaného piva rovnou ze sudu patří odedávna k pivovarským tradicím. Stačilo z něj vytáhnout bukový klínek zvaný cvikl a čerstvý mok tekl proudem. Proto získalo naše nefiltrované pivo jméno Cvikl a dávku kvasinek navíc. Tím získal čerstvější pivní chuť a výživný říz.

Každé pivo chutná nejlépe ještě ve sklepích pivovaru. Nepůsobí na něj účinky tepla, světla, pohybu či kyslíku, které zhoršují jeho chuť. Mimo pivovar se dá docílit takové čerstvé chuti jen tím, že se pivo nepřefiltruje a neztratí tak kvasinky. Budweiser Budvar Cvikl si zachovává svou plnou a svěží chuť s mírně vyšší hořkostí také díky čerstvým aktivovaným kvasnicím přidaným před stáčením. Ty mohou také za charakteristický matný zákal nefiltrovaného piva a nikoli přídavky cizích látek, jako je například pektin. Světlé výčepní pivo.

Tap at a random Budvar pub in Kosice. Clear golden colour, rather stable head. Very simple in both aroma and flavour, without flaws, but without any worthy character neither. Does not hurt, does not help.
