Zámecký Pivovar Albrecht
A craft brewery with a history dating back to the 13th century. Since 2014, we have been brewing craft beers of many styles in the restored castle brewery in the heart of the Frýdlant ridge, from traditional Czech lagers to top-fermented beers (Pale Ale, Stout, etc.) to fruit sours. Albrecht brand beers have achieved many successes at prestigious tasting competitions. Come and taste them in the brewery’s taproom, or take away samples of beer in bottles that you can buy in the company store. From April to September, there are regular guided tours of the brewery, where you will learn many interesting facts about the history and present of the brewery, see the current modern technology and taste the local beer in its purest form.
