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 This resulted in bankruptcy in 2002, the brewery was very outdated and the debt burden very high and yet it was taken over.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.

Bottled (from K Citymarket, Rauma, as Rohozec Skalak Rezane Pivo, 4.7%). Copper colour, mediumsized beige head, that leaves some lace. Aroma is hops, some wood and redcurrant along with some bready malts. Flavour is caramel malty, a bit hoppy as well as some slight noted of redcurrantlike sour/tart notes. Rather pleasant.

Bottled(500ml). -Dark golden coloured, low carbonation, small white head, malty nose. Sweet malty, light caramel and a bit too watery with mild notes of hops and herbs. Short rather sweet finish. Except the label with picture of naked Marina (after you scratch "certain" parts), this beer is not worth mentioning.

0.5l bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado (thanks!) Poured a slightly darker, amberish gold with a small white head. Nice malty nose, light light notes of chewing gum (not the wheat beer type). The taste does deliver on the promise of a nice, sweet maltiness, but that’s mostly hidden under layers upon layers of dusty hop, slightly stale and herbal and kinda annoying. Not my type.
