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.

Bottle, 0.50l, courtesy of CanCrusher. Aroma of caramel, honey, dandelion syrup, dust and dried fruit. Pours clear dark brown color with thin soapy cappuccino-like head and soft visible carbonation. Taste starts light to medium sweet caramelly and bready, following is herbal, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is pretty bitter. Medium body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. Good princess…

Bottled. Small white head on an amber head. Aroma is toffee, some mild alcohol and some mild herbal tones. Flavour is herbal, some slight grass, bread and mild earthy tones. Nice one, alcohol is not that evident, but gives the beer a good body.
