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.

50 cl can @ home Aroma has cardboard and sweet malt typical to NA beers. Flavour has sweet malt, toffee candy. Finishes with some cardboard and metallic vibes. This has the collection of most typical issues with NA beers. Still, not worst of those though.

Italian version. Brown color with a bubbly tan hea, fair persistence. Flavor of roasted malt, cereal, hints of caramel and grass. Taste flattish. Light body grainy finish, fairly dry. It's ok for the style
