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.

Barwa złota, klarowne, piana biała, niezbyt obfita, średnio trwała. W aromacie słodowe, nieznaczne masło, nieznaczne utlenienie. W smaku słodowe, półwytrawne. Goryczka średnia z plusem, wysycenie i ciało w normie, dobra pijalność. Porządny pils.

Huge thanks to quack-duck for that one! Can looks simple but good. Beer in the glass deep golden, nice head. Starts mild, malty, modest dry. Some mild grasy notes, moldy background. Finish with a light sweetish touch. Well balanced. Quite drinkable. Nice!

500 ml can. Clear copper with a stable foamy head. Metal, dry zesty grapefruit notes, caramel. Dry metallic bitterness, malty sweetness. Full bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, dry metallic bittersweet finish. Surprisingly good, not too boozy at all with a good crisp hop bitterness.

Lahev s patentním zavĕrem (Velká radost! Děkují mockrát, pane profesoře!): Deep golden, almost clear, mid-sized creamy and stable off-white head, moderate to solid bitter-sweet aroma of honeyish malt and milder herbal-flowery hops, mild boozy traces detectable; solid bitter-sweet flavour, full bodied; lingering sweet pale-malty finish with a dry herbal-floral aftertaste, including a little amount of warming alcohol. Well balanced, well quaffable. Českému pivu zdar...
