Jílovice Brewery

Jílovice Brewery

How did it all begin? Like most things – with a big dream. We want to live in the countryside and build our own microbrewery.

The operation of Jílovice Brewery began on June 2, 2015, with the brewing of the first batch of a 12% lager. High-quality water from the Novohradské foothills, Czech malt, and hop pellets from Czech hops are used for brewing. Using classic brewing technology in the brewhouse, cold primary fermentation in open vats, and long maturation in lager tanks, the result is Czech-style beer with a full taste, good effervescence, and optimal bitterness. All brewing equipment is made of food-grade stainless steel and consists of a two-vessel brewhouse, classic open fermentation vats, and closed lager tanks.

The brewery also includes the Equestrian Club Pivovar Jílovice, where visitors can enjoy horseback riding. Conditions and pricing are available in the "Horses" section.

Brewed Beers: Primary fermentation in the vats takes place at a maximum temperature of 9.5–10.0 °C for 7–10 days, followed by maturation in lager tanks at 2.0–3.0 °C for 25–40 days, depending on the type of beer. The brewery is currently capable of producing approximately 850 hl of beer per year.

Finished beer is bottled in PET bottles and KEG kegs. The current product range can be found in our offer. Beer sales in packaging are available year-round at the brewery's sales window. In the summer season (April–October), you can sit in a pleasant environment and enjoy a selection of our draft beers. Opening hours by season are also listed in the beer offer.
