The tradition of brewing as a privilege is evidenced in the Minipivovar Krajinská 27 building from 1482, when we can read in the market books of České Budějovice, among others, that in this year the maltster and innkeeper Matěj Svach became the new owner of the house. However, it may be anticipated that beer had been brewed in this building even much earlier. During the subsequent centuries the house changed its owners several times and beer brewing continued for several generations, i.e. until 1752 when a butcher, František Haas, became its owner. In 2014 the beer brewing activity was restored. When visiting the microbrewery, you can taste 5 diff erent beers that are a part of its permanent selection as well as seasonal specialties. Bound by history and tradition, the microbrewery brews classic beers according to old Czech formulas made of fi rst-rate raw ingredients, with no chemical additions, and using craft methods. This means that malting barley, Czech hops, and Czech yeast are used for the beer production. These beers are bottom-fermented, and they mature in an open fermentation room and later in lager tanks. Beers produced by the microbrewery are not treated in any way whatsoever, or fi ltered or pasteurized. This gives them an unmistakable fl avor and retains a number of natural substances, B group vitamins, tannins, etc.
