Description
The brewery was established by baron František Ringhoffer in 1874. Since the very beginning the brewery has always had a live mascot, a goat behind its fence. The current goat is named Olda and he is actually on the brewery’s employee list.

In March 1999, the merger of Plzeňský Prazdroj, as with Pivovar Radegast, as the former majority owner of the Velké Popovice brewery, took place. Since 2016 it is part of the Asahi Group.

Velkopopovicky Kozel is the most successful Czech export beer according to the sales and is sold in more than 50 European countries and beyond.

Klarowne, gęsta piana. Aromat słodowo-miodowo-brzeczkowy. W smaku brzeczka, miodowość. O dziwo pojawia się lekki chmielowy posmak. Goryczki oczywiście nie ma. Jakby lekka kwiatowość? Szału nie ma ale są gorsze okazy.

Pour is a cola brown with a large tan head. Aroma is a slight roasted malt. Flavor is about the same, a sweet slightly roasted malt with a watery finish. Just way too light all around. Everything is going in the right direction but just needs a bit more oomph.

50 cl can from an underground shop near Muzeum. Deep golden pour with an off-white head. Aroma is used socks, armpit, cardboard, sports T-shirt. You know. Artificial sweeteners, lots of adjuncts, booze. Other than that, just sparkling water, and the least quality. Baaaaaad.
