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 This resulted in bankruptcy in 2002, the brewery was very outdated and the debt burden very high and yet it was taken over.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

(Draught at Prazske Most U Valsu, Prague, 23 July 2008) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Lots of carbonation. Malty, grassy nose with notes of toffee and grain. Malty, bready taste with a decent grassy bitterness in the finish. Balanced malt sweetness. Well crafted, hardly exciting.

Bottled. Deep golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is sweet malts, some rubber and wooden hints. Flavour is sweetmalts, some rubbery and metallic notes as well as some mild fruityness lurking. Though the rubber and metallic notes are there, a quite pleasant brew.

From tap at Prazsky. Pours dark brown with a red glare and a creamy tan head. Mild butterish and roasted malt aroma. Flavour is sweet, light toasted and berry fruity with a mild spice note. Goes into a mixed finish of roasted malt, sweet fruity accents and mild bitterness. Nice one.
