Description
In 1564 for the first time a brewery is mentioned in Svijany. In the following years the brewery was owned by different families. In 1912 it was bought by brewer Antonín Kratochvíle. The Kratochvíle family operated the brewery till 1939. After the war the brewery was confiscated and later nationalized. in 1990 the state enterprise Vratislavice nad Nisou was created, which included Svijany Brewery. In 1998 the company Pivovar Svijany was created, which became the new owner of the brewery. In 2005, it was transformed into a joint-stock company. Gradually Svijany became the strongest regional brand with national importance. The popularity of the brewery is increasing and it is gradually being developed into one of the largest independent breweries in the Czech Republic.
Svijany Brewery is wholly Czech owned and remains one of the last in ‚domestic‘ hands.

Tap at bar sarte. Nice looking cloudy yellow color big head fading to a fine layer, no lacing, very clean. Flavor clasic in the style banana overall light spice, weath, dough, mild fruity hints of citrus. Taste os sweetish overall but balanced. Finish is great with almond notes, clean, perfumed. Very close to standards in the style, very nice, unexpectedly.

Äntligen drucken opastöriserad på fat på Soldaten Svejk. Gyllengul med en krämig maräng till skumkrona. Krispig och både aromatiskt harzig och besk humle mot en rejäl kropp med bröd och säd. En närmast perfekt pilsner. Mycket gott

Barva lehce tmavsi zlatava. Pena nizka a hned pryc. Vune slad, chleba. Chut sladova chlebova. Konec suchy trochu peprny hirky. Trochu svijansky sviravy. Plnost nizsi. Horkost stredni az vyssi stredni. Riz vyssi stredni. Takovy nizkovoltazni lezak, nic uchvatnyho ale zadny prusvih.

Barva tmave zlatava. Pena husta, drzi a utika z lahve. Vune slad, karamelky. Chut sladova. Telo stredne plne. Konec suchy kramelkovy, trochu hrejivy. Horkost stredni az vyssi stredni, tipoval bych vic nez 30 ibu. Ma to takovou tu svijanskou prichut, ale zavalenou do sladu a ne tak svirava horkost. Hadam, ze je to 450 akorat zaziva. Tak pry šlik
