Top pivovary a minipivovary v jižních Čechách - ENG

Beer is one of the oldest man-made beverages. It was favoured already by the Celts, who came to South Bohemia before the Slavic and Germanic tribes, who loved it no less. Bohemia has always been home to brewing, using malt, water and hops. Almost anyone could obtain brewing privileges, although they were usually held by the aristocracy and clergy. In the 18th century a court decree was made to regulate home brewing as the importance of introducing proper technologies became a priority. One hundred years later, in the period of inventions and technical developments, new breweries were built, equipped with advanced technologies. Nowadays in South Bohemia, apart from world-famous breweries there are also many microbreweries that are open to visitors to come and taste their golden, frothy product.
