Already in 2012, we with the semi-dark Sigismund placed third in the spring brewer price. A year later - 2013 - we were the third best microbrewery of the year and a year later we were the best microbrewery ever in the Czech Republic. And we also won the spring prize of Czech breweries with our wheat beer.
Time went by and the capacity of the cellars slowly ceased to be sufficient. At the same time, we thought of a new brand that we named MadCat. And then we were impressed by the building of a dilapidated distillery from 1912 in Kamenice near Jihlava. We decided to save the building and restore the craft production. Reconstruction of the distillery began in 2017 and next summer we brewed the first batch of MadCat beer in a brewery with a capacity of 2,000 liters.
Our new MadCat lager won first place at the spring prize of Czech breweries 2018! And the ride continues - MadCat is already in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany and Italy.

0.33l bottle, huge thanks Fil for sharing! Dark brown-coppery body, off-white head. Complex dark fruit malty notes both in the aroma and the taste, bit of wood, however, sadly, unlike Rotin's, our bottle went sour... quite noticably so, lowering the drinkability by a fair bit... Shame... Won't be too harsh with the score, but still...

Med body, med-light carbo. Med bitterness, light sweetness. Slightly more malty, with medium bread, med-light toasted, a bit honeyish even. Med-light grassy herbal hops. Overall could use more H, but remains classic, clean, drinkable. Good.

Med body, med-light carbo. Med-high bitterness, medium caramelly malty sweetness. Medium citrusy, med-light grassy, earthy hops character. A bit harsh, a hint of sourness too. A classic ČIPA that has been on tap for a while. Or the lines are dirty. Eh.

Can at Base Camp, huge thanks Barba & Elena! Hazy, bit pinkish red body, white head. Huge raspberry aroma, nice. Smooth taste, raspberry-driven, of course, bit creamy and grainy, low tartness. Fine enough.
