The family brewery of Bukovar in the town of Dolní Bukovsko continues with the tradition of beer brewing in Southern Bohemia, where beer was brewed in the nearby village of Bzí in the 18th century. The idea to restore beer brewing came in the summer of 2013 as consequence of the ever-worsening quality of common commercial beers. The objective is to brew a decent Czech bottom-fermented beer as well as top-fermented beers that are mostly known abroad. In 2013-2014, recipes were developed that were used in 2015-2016 to brew beer in leased breweries. At the beginning of 2017, a private brewing and fermenting technology was designed. In addition to quality Czech base malts, hops, and herbs, water for infants from the underground lake in Dolní Bukovsko is also used to produce beer, thus ensuring the beer’s extraordinary taste.
Produced beers: Lion 12° lager; Bear 13° semi-dark specialty; Coyote 13° top-fermented – APA; Monkey 14°top-fermented – IPA
