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.

Draught @ Svejken. Pours amber with a big and creamy white head. The aroma is quite hoppy - in a flowery way - and there is also notes of ryebread and metal. The taste has got a semi-sweet maltprofile which reminds me of a syrupy sweetened ryebread. Lots of herbal hops in the finish. Long and bitter aftertaste. Very refreshing.
