Taste profile
Brew sheet
Why is our beer different? Because we make it differently.
Czech lagers, bold specials and hand-drawn characters that give every beer its own face.
- Brewed in the Plzeň region
Water from the Plzeň region
From the home of the pilsner. We brew here, in a brewery that has stood since 1567.
- 2,000 litres
One batch is 2,000 litres
We brew about twice a week, so the beer never sits around in a warehouse.
- Live beer
Unfiltered and unpasteurised
The yeast stays in the beer. That is why it tastes fuller — and why it goes straight into your fridge at home.
Ordinary supermarket beer vs. Švabín
| Ordinary supermarket beer | Švabín | Why it matters | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pasteurisation | Ordinary supermarket beer✕Usually yes | Švabín✓No — the beer stays alive | Pasteurising heats the beer and kills the yeast. It lasts longer and tastes different |
| Filtration | Ordinary supermarket beer✕Usually yes, for clarity | Švabín✓No | The yeast takes the flavour and the body with it |
| Batch size | Ordinary supermarket beer✕Industrial batches | Švabín✓2,000 litres, about twice a week | That much beer never has time to sit in a warehouse |
| New beers | Ordinary supermarket beer✕The same recipe for years | Švabín✓One or two new beers every month | It never gets old — there's always something to try |
| Label | Ordinary supermarket beer✕The same print on millions of cans | Švabín✓Hand-drawn, nine characters | A can you don't throw away |
| Brewer | Ordinary supermarket beer✕No name on the can | Švabín✓Zdeněk Siruček — and he signs off on it | A person answers for the taste, not a department |
| What you support | Ordinary supermarket beer✕A large corporation | Švabín✓Rebuilding a brewery the state closed in 1952 | Every order goes back into the brewhouse, not into dividends |
And Leshy brought back bronze from the International Beer Challenge in London — the jury tastes blind, without the label.
A brewery from 1567, left to decay for seventy years
In 1948 the state took it over, in 1952 it closed it. The brewhouse was dismantled and carted off to a large brewery in Plzeň. We bought the brewery in 2018 and have been putting it back together since 2022. There will be a brewery here, and a medieval park.
We sold 104,014.88 litres of beer in the last year. In 1875 this place brewed 17,000 hectolitres a year.
