About
The first written records of the brewery in Protivín date back to 1540. In 1711, it became the property of the Schwarzenberg noble family, where it remained for more than two hundred years. During the Schwarzenberg era, a beautiful brewhouse with copper boilers was built, including an atypical wort pan in the shape of a square, where beer is still brewed to this day. South Bohemian water from its own wells, traditional way of brewing and skills of South Bohemia are for decades the basis of beer brewed here, known under the brand Platan.

In 2008 the brewery became part of the Pivovary Lobkowicz Group.

From tap at Desert Klub, Brno 04.10.15 with HDI, RA, TO and OSG. Slightly unclear pale straw colour. Dense and persistent off-white head and lacing. Fine aroma of noble continental hops, succade, fresh grass and pilsner malt. Very quaffable, but perhaps a bit waterish.

I’d hate to be one of these Czech brewers brewing another forgettable lager... how do you do it? Do you have a tiny portion of the population that swears by your beer that tastes exactly like the beer from the next town over? Well, I can’t figure much from this that’s different enough from all the others, but it’s another weak and sweet lager with no complexity. Aside from a beer rater or maybe your grandfather, I can’t imagine many people going out of their way to try this.
