Brewery Svatý Florian | Loket

Velkorybnický Hastrman | Velký Rybník

You can combine a beer tasting from a traditional craft brewery with a visit to Plešivec Mountain. Your reward will be beer from Velkorybnický Hastrman, and not just any beer. Have you heard of elderflower or honey beer?

Brewery Krušnohor | Kraslice

The rugged Krušné hory landscape deserves equally rugged, bitter beer. The brewery offers a wide range of distinctive bitter beers. You can combine a visit to the brewery with a trip to nearby Jáchymov with Shaft No. 1, home to the Mining Museum.

Brewery Rudohor | Ostrov - Dolní Žďár

The town of Ostrov is the gateway to the Krušné hory, where miners took ore and brewers from Rudohor took crystal-clear water, which they use to make original beers named after coins. Ostrov is also full of historical landmarks.

Castle Brewery Chyše | Chyše

Beer with a touch of history from quality home malt and sparkling water from the Doupovské hory will be poured for you when visiting Chyše Castle, which after reconstruction is considered one of the most beautiful places in the region.

Brewery Starý hrad | Nivy

The Starý hrad brewery preserves the Old Slavic tradition of brewing strong and high-quality beer as people knew it 12,000 years ago. You can enjoy Karlovarská 14° here, but also immerse yourself in the local beer baths.

Brewery Pivní Skaut | Cheb

Just as a true scout is an explorer, researcher, and tracker, the Pivní Skaut brewery explores, seeks, and discovers the highest quality malt, the most fragrant hops, and the purest beer styles. If you want to embark on an exploration as well, visit Cheb Castle, the historic center, and the local brewery with the Hvězda restaurant.
