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) Reddish amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty nose with notes of caramel, treacle-toffee, brown sugar, honey, rye bread, nuts, apricots and orange peel. Malty taste with caramel, toffee, bread, brown sugar, dried apricots, roasted nuts, honey, orange peel and a mild grassy bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and well made polotmavý. Quite nice.

# 234; 2/2016. Nedobrý ležák. Ve vůni i chuti vystupuje maltózový sirup; sladší, sladové. V dochuti se přidávají ještě tóny kukuřice.

# 233; 2/2016. Horší desítka. Ve vůni a chuti výrazněji vystupuje maltózový sirup doplnění o tóny sladu. Chmelení je nepovedené, ulpívající.

Decent beer, relatively simple. As you’d expect from a czech brewery making just a “dark”. bierborse dresden

Als mich bei einer Osterfeier in einem westukrainischen Dorf der Onkel meiner Frau fragte, ob ich ein tschechisches Bier kosten wollte, erwartete ich mir ein Lizienz-Staropramen -stattdessen kam er mit diesem Bier (wobei er selbst nicht mehr wusste, wer es ihm geschenkt hatte) Die zweite positive Überraschung war, dass es für ein Zehngrädiges sehr vollmundig ist. Es hat einen recht tiefen malzaromatischen Körper und einen Einschlag Buttrigkeit. Es hat mir auf jeden Fall gut gefallen.
