Description
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.

Draft @ Axiom Tbilisi.
Dorée/pâle, col blanc.
Arôme reste plutôt classique - pils et pâle, léger floral et herbacé dans une lignée noble niveau des houblons.
Palais est classique - malt pils, grains, pâle crisp, houblonné délicat sur le floral et terreux avec un effet rappelant les feuilles séchées de thé vert.

Bottle picked up from Kaufland Prachatiche Czechia and consumed at home Wednesday 13th March 2024 cooking homemade veggie burgers and chips. Pours mid amber with a large white sticky head, soft mouthfeel a bit of caramel, forgot to mention good clarity. This is better than expected, a little bitterness, light fruity, initially a touch sweet but then the finish is dry.

Bottle picked up from Kaufland in Prachatice, Czechia and consumed at home Wednesday 28th February 2024 listening to Huw Stephens on 6Music and cooking Tartiflette. Pours gold, good clarity with a mid sized white head. Soft mouthfeel, a little bit of dryness on the finish, light to mid bitterness. Fine without ever really getting too exciting.

Burk. Lätt på ett bra sätt. Ljust bröd, lätt honungssötma, nära på ingen beska, mjuk munkänsla. Cleant och ganska gott.

Burk från SB. Det må vara en billig och svag tjeckisk pilsner den är ändå helt ok. Bra kropp för sin 4% och fin lite söt smakbild med honung, limpa, säd och hö. Trevlig
