Description
The first real malting statute was confirmed by the municipal council of Iglau, as the town of Jihlava was called till 1948, in 1579. In 1859, all 123 owners of brewing rights in the town and surrounding villages joined in a new brewery, the present Jihlava Brewery. The brewery in Jihlava was opened in 1861, but the brewery considers the year 1860 as the year of its incorporation. From its incorporation the brewery had mainly German owners. After WWII it was nationalised and then privatised in 1995. In 2008 the almost bankrupt brewery was bought by the Pivovary Lobkowicz group. Under the new owners the brewery returned to the production of beer according to old original recipes.

Bottle (purchased anywhere in Iglau): Golden, small to mid-sized white fluffy head; shy - almost a bit toasty - malty nose with a faint metallic-hoppy tinge; quite full bodied for a beer of 4.7%, moderate malty base, quite sweet flavour; sweetish malt and some mild hops in the short finish. A bit on the sweet side, but quite O.K. ...........
