Where water tastes like a brewery

Year 2009. Zdeněk Mědvarík returned from Bavaria, where he worked for three years at the family brewery Schlenkerla. In his suitcase he brought malt, in his head recipes, and in his heart a firm decision: to restart the brewhouse in his native village in the Vysočina region, which had been idle since 1952.

Today we brew 14 types of beer. Each batch starts with water from a deep well 43 meters below the brewery — soft, clean, "beer" water. We get malt from Sladovna Hana in Prostějov, hops exclusively from Žatec. No concentrates, no shortcuts.

Without this hop variety, there would be no Czech beer as we know it. Why we brew it exclusively from hand-picked cones.

Brewing beer — the process
How We Brew

Each batch — 6 days
of honest work

Scroll down and watch the glass fill along with the brewing process. No shortcuts — just time, water, malt, and hops.

  1. Mashing Malt is mixed with warm water. Enzymes break down starch into sugars. The right temperature is everything.
  2. Lautering and boiling Wort is separated from the spent grain and boiled for 90 minutes with the addition of hops. Bitterness, aroma — everything is formed now.
  3. Fermentation Yeast converts sugars into alcohol and CO₂. Pale lager ferments with bottom culture at 8 °C for 7 days.
  4. Secondary fermentation and lagering Lager cellar, 1–2 °C, 30–50 days. Beer matures, matures, and matures. This is our advantage over the industry.
  5. Filtration and bottling Gentle plate filtration — just enough to keep the beer alive. Then into tanks, kegs, or bottles.
  6. Drafting Correct temperature, clean draft system, two-pull technique. Only now is the batch at its goal.

What guests say

The beer speaks for itself

Excursion for 15 people from our company. Mr. Mědvarík guided us from the grist mill to the tap — two hours flew by like nothing. The finale with a tasting of a dark special straight from the tank? Unforgettable.

Tomáš Kratochvíl
Brno

Light Mědvarík 11° is probably the best tap beer I have ever drunk in the Czech Republic — and I have been drinking beer for 30 years. A certain, direct taste, no tricks. We go to Nové Veselí every time we are in the Pelhřimov area.

Cherry kvašák got me. I expected a sweet lemonade, I got a complex beer experience. I order a keg home every summer. And the tasting evening for 6 women was fantastic!
