The first four are in every box. Two more come from the rest, depending on what has just been brewed.
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.
