Beer was first brewed at Klášter in 1570. In 1621 the brewery became property of the Wallenstein dynasty which remained the owner until 1945. In 1864 the Wallensteins built one of the most modern breweries of its times and towards the end of the 19th century, Klášter Brewery was among the seven largest breweries in Bohemia. Like with all czech breweries after the war the communist period and the reprivatisation in the nineties brough a lot of changes. Since 2012 the brewery belongs to the Lobkowicz Brewery Group.
