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.

On tap @ Melypont. Pours black with beige head. Pleasant coffee, roasted malts and toffee notes with slight hops underlying.

0.5 l can. Deep golden colour, thin head. Pretty average pilsner, but for it’s on the bitter side rather than on the malty, it is indeed to my liking.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso l'orzo e il metallico. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è medio. L'amaro è contenuto. La forza gustativa è normale e permane in maniera sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, pane, erbaceo, agrumi e metallico.
