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.

Słodowe, chlebowe, ziołowe, diacetyl delikatny. Barwa złota, piana znika do zera, brak lacingu. Goryczka zaznaczona, ziołowa, apteczna, długa, nieprzyjemna. Słodkie z tępą goryczką ale przyjemnym chlebkiem. No dla mnie duże rozczarowanie.

Bottle picked from Kaufland, Prachatice, Czechia and consumed at home, Thursday 29th February 2024, cooking Asian Spare Ribs with Jasmin Rice. Pours clear gold, yeah excellent clarity and with a large white head that clings desperately to the sides of the glass as it slips down. Decent beer, a little bit more bitterness than expected, good carbonation, a little citrussy and quite dry. Good.

Drożdżowe, brzeczkowe, przyjemny finisz zbożowy. Ładna barwa, klarowne, ładna piana. Goryczka średnia, ziołowa, przyjemna. Nie jest złe ale generalnie nic specjalnego, niczym specjalnie się nie wyróżnia.
