Brew sheet
Zdeněk SirůčekBrewmaster at ŠvabínHow our brewmaster sees it
Strong, dry, bitter. Hopped five times: twice hot, once in the whirlpool, twice cold. For people who love a heavily hopped beer.
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 Pilsen region
Water from the Pilsen 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 but tastes different |
| Filtration | Ordinary supermarket beer✕Usually yes, for clarity | Švabín✓No | Filter out the yeast and the flavour and body go 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, a different character on every beer | A can you won't throw away |
| Brewer | Ordinary supermarket beer✕No name on the can | Švabín✓Zdeněk Sirůček, and he puts his name to 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 | A brewery left to decay for seventy years is brewing again |
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 and in 1952 shut it down. The brewhouse was dismantled and carted off to a large brewery in Pilsen. 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.
