For this part of “Beer in Czech Republic,” I will try to present some beers that I love, some that have a particular interesting history, and may be less known, and I will write a few words of the brewery I had visited when I was in Brno \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
The Krusovice beer<\/strong> has a special history. Emperor Rudolf II bought the brewery in 1583, later it was purchased by an aristocratic family of Bohemia, the Furstenberks.
\nBut in 1945 it was taken and nationalized in 1948. In the communist era it was one of the most productive breweries, with this brewery the communist regime was able to earn foreign currency. This beer was even sold abroad and often confused with Pilsner Urquell. In 1990 the brewery changed hands several times, because nobody could properly establish the beers production. It was finally in 2007 that Heineken bought the brewery and probably saved this historic brand.<\/p>\n
