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.

Tap at Richtar Jakub. Aroma actually not bad, mostly malty, pilsener. Taste lightly soapy and watery, otherwise fine. Clear golden colour. Quite nice finish. Overall good bitterness, but low hop flavour. Good industrial beer.

On tap @ Penzion Mona, Harrachov. Pours slightly hazy dark brown with stable light tan head. Clear aroma of malt and caramel with a note of dried fruit. Complex, sour and sweet flavour of malt and fruit, offset by a bitter hoppy aftertaste. Decent.

Bottle. Pours clear pale golden with airy white head. Distinct hoppy aroma with a spicy note. Earthy and bitter flavour. Dry aftertaste. Not bad as such, rather surprising, though. Not my favourite BP.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Ariel’s place. Thanks beerandbeyond. Clear golden. Aroma of oroblanco pulp, some lemonade notes and something a bit strange that I can’t put my finger on. Flavor starts with a bit of malty sweetness, slightly bready, citric notes and a moderately bitter finish with sourish hints and some grassy notes. Light-medium-bodied. Decent.
