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.

Bottled 500ml. -from Albert Chodov. Yellow/golden coloured, small airy white head that went away fast, dusty honey nose with touch of cardboard. Quite bitter but in other hand not so offensive taste with notes of corn and touch of cardboard. Had worse but also had better n/a beers.

0.5l bottle courtesy of ogivlado who brought it from Czech Republic and shared with me (thanks!) Poured a golden body with a small white head that went away fast. Sweet nose, soggy cornflakes, honey, lemon (in order of strength). Bitter fishy taste, ordinary n/a... no, actually, a standard Platan n/a. Drinkable and that’s it.
