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.

Bottle from a supermarket in Krumlov. Looks simple but good. Beer in the glass copper coloured, almost no head. Starts mild, spicy-roasty malty, metallical background. Some hints of nuts. Mild bitterness. Okay.

Canned (from beerdome.cz) Yellow colour, mediumsized creamy longlasting white head, which leaves good lace. Aroma is grassy, herbal, some slight biscuity, bready and earthy tones. Flavour is sweet malts, some slight herbal, grassy and mild bitterness with some earthy elements as well. A bit thin, but still pleasantly crisp maltiness and bitterness to it.

Can at the flat in Sofia - picked up from Da Hapna. Pours totally clear honey-gold, lightly effervescent, with a modest, frothy white topping. Light sweet flavour, pleasant dry biscuits, soft grass, sun-kissed hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Clean finish, subtle dryness, more crispy biscuits, straw, light bitter grass. Really nice. Quite similar to Pilsner Urquell.
