After nearly a decade in the brewing industry — most notably with Matuška and Zichovec breweries — I’ve decided to set out on my own path. Gypsy brewery — 2025 — Head Brewer: Mikuláš Preisler — Lagers, IPLs, Cold IPAs, and more to come.

Tap at NaPalmě, August 5. Pale golden-yellow body, lasting thick off-white head. Somewhat sulfury, yeasty, herbal-hoppy aroma. Smooth, pillowy maltiness in the taste, bit bready, leading into a huge bitterness, way too big for the body, lowering drinkability. Shame, shows promise but needs balancing out. 8/6/6.5/6/6
Rerate at Malý pivo for their 2nd anniversary. Hazy yellow-golden body, thick white head. Bit citric and herbal hoppy aroma. Citric candy, looow coconut touch, herbal, floral, fun! The bitterness is better integrated now, stil la bit astringent, but love the hop profile!

Tap at Automat Matuška. Guess both Gurthnar and me got it before the release date, or it's July not August, hahah. Anyway. Clear, extremely pale golden body, lasting white head. Sulfury aroma, but quite citric-hoppy as well. Smooth taste, light sulfur again, but mostly the sweetish minty, citric notes, with a bitterish finish. Tasty, light hoppy beer, respect!

Med-thin body, background malt, light bready. Med-high bitterness, light sweetness. Med-high winey, dank, med lemongrass, a bit citrusy. Very tasty, easy drinking.

Tap at Maly pivo. Thin body, medium carbo. Medium bitterness, low sweetness, pretty dry. Light bready malt, medium grassy herby hoppiness, light earth and generic fruitiness. Honestly does not feel that zealandish or vinous to me, but whatever. Still good. Good but not great.

Tap at Automat Matuška. Hazy dull pissy yellow body, nice huge lasting white head. Bit of popcorn, white grape, some NZ herb in th aroma, husky-grainy, almost DMS-ish. Lean, dry taste, grainy, husky even, herbal, vague washed out grape along the edges, bit herbal. Nah, not the best example of the style.

Tap at Maly pivo. Pretty classic, with medium classic pilsnery yeast presence, maybe even a bit too high in the balance. Does not feel off, but could use more malt and hops in the balance. Overall good, but not great.
