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 50 CL. Clear dark golden, off white head. Malty aroma, some fruity notes and harsher esters too. The taste starts with a light malt bitterness - the sturdier Czech kind - and a spicy bitter finish. Classic Czech stuff.

Barwa złota. Piana średniej gęstości, szybko opada. W aromacie nic nie czuć poza delikatną słodową nutą. W smaku pustka jak w najpopularniejszych piwach koncernowych. Trochę zapycha.

0,5l from tap at Pivni Opice shared by a friend. Yellow light hazy colour, small white head. Smells of flour, ripe fruits, light bread. Medium body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. Tastes lightly fruity, light sweetness, light honey, light spices, some grass. Finishes rather balanced with light fruit and grassy notes. Decent good balance

Barwa złota, lekko biszkoptowa piana w aromacie, smak ciut maślano-chlebowy poza tym czuć jedynie słód.
