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. 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.

Bottle. Pours clear light golden with airy but stable white head. Clear aroma of hops and malt. Sweetish, malty flavour, gradually giving way to hoppy bitterness. A little yeasty aftertaste. An OK Bohemian Plsner but nothing really revolutionary.

Ein Bier, das zwar gut vollmundig ist, aber im Bezug auf die Aromen etwas langweilig. Es mag als Helles durchgehen, aber das Premium-Segment hat die Brauerei selbst schon einem anderen Produkt vorbehalten. Kein schlechtes Bier, aber auch kein großer Wurf.

Erst einmal Danke an meinen Kumpel Maunel, der mir eine Svijany-Probier-Box geschenkt hat. Jetzt kann ich meine alten Bewertungen verifizieren. Dieses Zehngrädige ist wohl keine Perle der tschechischen Braukunst, aber lässt sich doch leicht trinken. Was unangenehm auffällt ist ein hervorstechender süßlicher Beigeschmack, der einfach nicht reinpasst.

erstmals getrunken 17/04/2013 10:06 und jetzt wieder in einem ukrainischen Sanatorium-Restaurant (25/04/2025)

Das Svijanský Máz ist ein klassisches helles Lager, das mich aber nicht vollkommen überzeugen kann. Die Aromen sind ok und auch der leichte Touch von Buttrigkeit gehört bei einem teschechischen Bier dazu und stört nicht. Aber irgendwie wirkt das Bier nicht ausgewogen genug. Da ist noch Luft nach oben.
