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.
