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.

Tap at Náplavka 2024. Hazy purple-brown (?!) body, some creamy head. Creamy aroma, oak notes in presence, so are wild notes, light berry touches, okay. Somewhat stale-feeling taste, creamy, oak and berries mostly. Damn, didn't get perfect notes. Will try to rerate, but I recall not liking the taste profile particularly for some reason.

Tap at NaPalmě. Orange-golden body, thick white head. Resin and light caramel in the aroma. Lean, dry, quite empty taste, some resin, bit earthy, clean, fresh, good carbonation, I mean, nice body, but... just lacking a better developed hop profile!
