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.

0.5 l bottle Doggythedog brought from Plzen, thanks a lot! Poured golden body, bit darker than Maj, with smaller-medium white head. Aroma is honey malty, with more hops than Maj, but quite similar. Flavor reminds it as well, but this is much better as it has more body and finer bitterness. Honey, bread, herbal notes, all this can be found here. Quite low carbonation. Finish is more bitter than sweet. Bottle says it’s not pasteurized, but I didn’t feel that at all. Anyway, not bad beer at all.

0.5 l can Doggythedog brought from Plzen, thanks! It poured lighter golden body with medium head. Fine, pretty malty aroma of honey, with some herbal hops. Bitterish flavor with some herbal notes, but thin bodied as well. Somehow different than what I’ve used to get from the style. Moderate sweeter finish. Fine beer, maybe too watery although it’s meant to be a light beer, but anyway, you won’t see me complaining while drinking it at over 35°C.

Bottled. Rubyish amber colour with mediumsized beige head. Aroma is mildly roasted malts, some slight chocolate as well as raisins. Flavour is quite much the same with underlying tones of mild fruityness and grassy hops.

Bottled at Pivovarsky Klub, Prague. Clear golden, small head. Grassy nose with grains and dough underneath. Clean and crisp, understandably a bit thin with a slight metallic edge and salty finish. Pretty good N/A!

Bottled. Clear deep golden. Buttery malty nose. Sweet and fruity with impressive rounded body. Hops lie in the background to the buttery fruity malt. A touch of orange in a warming finish. Well made all they way, but just not as interesting as their best beers.
