Pivovar Malešov
A craft brewery in the picturesque surroundings of the Malešov fortress, where beer was brewed as early as the mid-16th century. Since 2017, we have been brewing in renovated premises. We specialize in bottom- and top-fermented beers, which we intersperse with seasonal specials. The taproom is open all year round from Friday to Sunday, and during the main tourist season (June-September) we are also open on weekdays. You can taste our beers in selected restaurants, pubs, pivotékas and retail chains. Every year, four major events are held in the brewery and at the fortress – Brewery Festival (end of June), Conquest of Malešov (beginning of September), St. Wenceslas Festival (end of September) and Zabíjačka with Advent (beginning of December).
