Královsky Pivovar Krušovice
The Krušovice brand is one of the oldest traditional Czech beer brands, the roots of which go back to 1581, when King Rudolf II himself stood at its birth. The brewery is located right in the heart of the Žatec hop region and in close proximity to the Křívoklát forests, so it has an ideal location for brewing high-quality Czech beer. Krušovice beers are characterized by a pleasant, slightly aromatic bitterness, a thick foam and a pronounced zing.
