Liberec breweries
Where beer’s brewed, life is good! The Czechs have known this for centuries. The city without a brewery is like a body without a soul. And we’re in a good place for this here in Liberec; no beer lover will go thirsty in our city.
The flagship on this sea of beer is the Konrad Brewery in Liberec – Vratislavice. It offers 17 types of beer, light and dark, classic brews and specials. Try the dark Kapucín (Capuchin), the light very bitter 11° Gepard ALE, and be sure to sample the lemon Chytrón, the Saint Paul sixteen degree, or the light Reichenberger.
On the tram route to Ještěd, check out the Warehouse Brewery. This is a dream come true for one lad who believes in doing things properly and honestly; there’s plenty of originality and manual craftsmanship goes into these beers. They’ll pull you a classic light 11 lager or a semi-dark 12, but they naturally also offer ALE and IPA fermented specials. You can enjoy a glass of beer in the Beer Warehouse restaurant and the Club Warehouse music club.
Thirsty visitors are always welcome at the Vendelín Family Microbrewery in Liberec’s Harcov district, which serves up its own light or semi-dark yeast lager. You can sit and enjoy a beer in the brewery all year round, and even take your glass and bask in the sun on the terrace in the summer. This gives you the chance to really savour your drink, which rightly won the owner the “Microbrewery of the Year” award in 2001.
Studánka Microbrewery
Another microbrewery, this time with the poetic name of Studánka (Spring), offers unpasteurized yeast beer produced using a traditional Czech recipe. Beer brewed using this method does not lose any of its important natural elements (minerals, vitamin B) and acquires a lightness and pleasant bitterness. Which, after all, any good beer should have.
