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.

Can via Tesco. Thin body, med-high carbonation. Lots of sweetness, light bitterness and sourness. Citruses are center, with nothing really on the edges. Well, it is a lemonade, not beery at all. Good for what it is, bad for a beer thing.

500 ml bottle. Almost clear dark amber with a foamy head. Marzipan, Belgian yeast, caramel, fried banana, metal, lemon zest. Caramely sweetness, dry bitterness. Medium to full bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, dry malty sweet finish. This one is a bit weird, tastes more like a sweetened German Schwarzbier, than a Polotmavý. Not bad though, but not great either.

2l dzban from Fire & Ice Wine shop. Wypite polowe po wyczerpujacym i niemal tygodniowym pobycie w Gorach do poznej odgrzewanej kolacji, splynelo po mnie ze nie odczulem ani alko ani kalorii, ani nawet sytosci. Gory zabraly mi tkanke tluszczowa bo schudlem kilogram w 4 dni. Niesamowity wyglad i opakowania dzbana, kartonu jak i piwa, piana wielka jak Kryvan, jak pomoc strazy w zatopionych miastach. Metne, zamglone niczym chmury nad Pilskiem. Tresciwe, w smaku drozdzowki, chmielnosc konkretna, kwaskowe, tak jak byc powinno, piana taka ze pisac lub wzorki mozna w niej robic. Doskonalosc. Jedno z lepszych bohemskich lezakow jakie pilem w nieco wiekszej ilosci niz zwykle.
