About
In 2011 we opened our local microbrewery in a former music club in Jihlava. Where DJs were in charge, we now had beer tanks, fermenters, brewhouse and we started our own ride.
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.

Bottle @ Hopaholic. Pours deep orange and thick head. Nose is resinous hoppy mainly, but there’re some malts in there too. In taste the hops come through first too, but there’s a detectable sweet boozy touch to it. Not overwhelmingly, just enough to balance the hops. Medium, sticky bodied with average carbo. Good one, very much like a West Coast IPA.

500ml Can - Hazy light amber. Pine, citrus and some subtle hints of dried fruit in the aroma. Hoppy and faintly tangy taste with orange, pine, caramel, grapefruit and some slightly biscuity notes detected. Not a bad drop.

Tap at Naplavka. Substantial acetic acid, but not entirely overpowering, working with the grapes. Overall a bit rough, but works. Note limited here, similar problem to Marko, probably was a good discussion going on.
