Great Popovice brewery with beer tasting

Great Popovice brewery with beer tasting

On this trip your guide will introduce you to the traditions of beer drinking, its production and its cultural importance in Czech society. The brewery is located not far from Prague in the beautiful countryside in the village of Velké Popovice, where it was founded in the 16th century.

It has undergone many changes and modernisations. The most important one took place after 1871, when the brewery was bought by the Czech-Austrian businessman and industrialist Count František Ringhoffer. During a tour of the brewery grounds, you will learn about traditional beer production, be shown the lager cellars, the historic and new brewhouse, and learn about the production process and the raw materials needed to make beer. You will see modern fully automated bottling plants and packaging displays. In the outdoor enclosure, you will meet Olda the goat - the brewery's live mascot. In the Goat Shop, which is part of the new Visitor Centre, you can buy various souvenirs and gifts for your loved ones. You can relax in the KOZLOVNA pub with home-made Czech cuisine and the full range of the local brewery's products, including the unpasteurised Velkopopovický Kozel Medium beer.
