Description
The brewery is located in Malý Rohozec, near Turnov, less than a hundred kilometers northeast of Prague. The local romantic region, located on the middle course of the Jizera River, has been called the Bohemian Paradise since the 19th century. It is a region of natural beauty, castles, chateaux, museums and traditional crafts. And also good people, and these people produce good beer for you in the traditional way: Beer of the Paradise. Not only the locals, but also visitors to the Bohemian Paradise, tourists, climbers and other nature lovers, SKALÁK beer and the sandstone rock town in the Hruboskalsko region are connected. . The beautiful, picturesque nature and pleasant, fresh taste of Skalák and Podskalák simply belong together.

After the end of communism and the split of Czechoslovakia, the brewery came into private hands in 1994 who however without the know-how for running a brewery. This resulted in bankruptcy in 2002, the brewery was very outdated and the debt burden very high and yet it was taken over. The production process was examined and everything was renewed, resulting in a high quality of brewed beer.

On tap (@Jedovka, Praha): Chestnut-amber coloured, stable and lacy off-white head, light to moderate sweetish-caramelly nose with a worty and a bitter touch; light to moderate sweetish-bitter flavour, more light than medium bodied; gets drier towards the slightly lingering bitter-sweet finish. Friendly, uncomplicated Dunkel.....

On tap (@Jedovka, Praha): Deep golden, small white head with a solid lacework; clean pale-malty to grainy nose, backed by delicate aromatic hoppy traces and buttery aromas; light to moderate bitter-sweet flavour, malty base - that’s understood - detectable; dry finish, more bitter than hoppy, with a tinge of vanilla(!). Good, but not classy.....

500ml bottle. Dark reddish brown with a tight cm of light tan head. Mild aroma of toast, hazelnut oil with a touch of grass and snoke. Oily body. Cheap-chocolaty sweet with some sourness and mild roasted bitterness and a very light herbal/ grass hop note. A bit sweet for my tastes but has an elegant dry finish.

Draught @ U Valsu, Prague. Pours cloudy golden with a creamy white head and lacings. Nose is grassy and floral hops mainly. Flavor is very odd. Dusty, yeasty and old. Medium and smooth palate. Either too old or infected

500ml bottle. Lighter gold than some. Medium white head. There are floral hops in the nose, but mainly cereal and nutty malt. A little metallic and nutty, moderate finishing bitterness. Great creamy texture. Not the tastiest pilsener, but it has a lot going for it.
