About
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.

Flaske fra Holmens importavdeling, ombord på Fridtjofen jan-14: tett fint skum og tydeligere aroma enn den foregående (som også var en tsjekkisk pilsner). Mer bitterhet også. Kan godt tenke meg en halvliter eller to av denne.

Warm golden colour, diminishing white head. Aroma of malts, light cardboard, light sweet, sweet wort. Sweet malty flavour, wort. Finish wort and malts. Not too bad for a low-alcohol beer.
(From 50cL bottle @ friends. Thanks for bringing the bottle, Gijs!)

Tap at Staroslov. Clear golden colour, stable white head, heavily carbonated. Aroma mostly hoppy, but overall mild, touch of industriality. Taste is mediocre. Mild hoppy flavour, moderate bitterness. Finish is metallic. Good drinkability, average industrial beer.

Flasche von Tuzex, Berlin. - Goldgelb, klar. Eine herbe Hopfenattacke von komplexer Aromafülle: Grapefruit, Harz, Gras (ist das der berühmte Saazer Hopfen?). Eher dünner Körper; erst beim Wärmerwerden leicht honigartige Malzsüße. Wuchtige Bittere im Abgang; endlos langer, stark bitter Nachtrunk. - Ich kenne kaum ein Pils, das so kräftig und dabei so aromatisch gehopft ist. Großartig.

Flasche von Tuzex, Berlin. - Orangegelb. In der Nase recht blaß, mit leichter Metallnote. Im Antrunk ebenfalls zunächst etwas blaß, mit nur leichter Wiener-Malz-Note, bevor mit geschickter Verzögerung der wuchtige Hopfen mit Pampelmusenschale und kräftiger Bittere einsetzt. Schlank, fast etwas leer. Kräftiger, extralanger bitterer Nachtrunk. - Viel aromatische Hopfenbittere auf schlanker Malzbasis. Etwas einseitig im Aroma - das 12grädige von Svijany hat ein weiteres Spektrum an Hopfenaromen -, dennoch ein Genuß.

Nagyon selymes, lágy kis barna, mely itatja magát, mint a vetmalac. Érdemes.

zuletzt getrunken am 4.3.2019 mit diesem Text:
Es ist ein fein süffiges Bier, bei der die Tschechien-typische Buttrigkeit fast kaum vorhanden ist, aber dafür eine tolle hopfenbetonte Würzigkeit hervortritt. Der Gesamt-Geschmack des schön vollmundigen Bieres, passt einfach. Schöne Aromen, die wunderbar harmonieren -was will man mehr?

Bottle. Aroma is cereal (not very pleasant), some herbs. Golden colour, head disappears quickly and leaves minimal surface. Flavour is cereal, herbs and some unpleasant sweet aroma (sugar?). Medium bitterness, light sweetness. Medium body, average to lively carbonation. I really don’t like the sweetness in this beer, previously it used to be one of my favourite Czech ones, but currently I cannot recommend it.
