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, ziołowe, mineralne z lekką nutą kwiatową. Barwa głębokiego złota, piana trwała redukuje się do niskiej, lacing chaotyczny. Goryczka zaznaczona, ziołowo - alkoholowa, umiarkowanie długa ale przyjemna. Trochę za ciężkie ale pełne, dość słodkie, przyjemnie chmielowe. Porządny strong lager.

Bottle at the flat in Sofia - picked up from Beer Store. Pours clear rich honey-gold with a frothy, white head. Light sweet flavour with tasty bready malts, sun-baked hay, a little grass, earth, bread crust. Light bodied with average carbonation. Pretty clean finish, more sun-baked hay, biscuits, fresh bread, sourdough. Really good overall.
