Eggenberg - Czech Breweries 1.
Location: Český Krumlov, South Bohemia
The tradition of brewing beer in Český Krumlov (one of the most
beautiful czech town) dates right back to the origins of the town.
Under the reign of the last of the Rosenbergs, in 1560, a new brewery
was built in the castle grounds and a year later, regent Jakub Krčín
established a source of very high quality water, which the
brewery still uses today. In 1662 the entire Český Krumlov estate, together with the
brewery, was acquired by the Eggenbergs. The rising demand for beer
was the reason why the former seat of the mother
of Vilém and Petr Vok of Rosenberg), the former
armoury building, was converted in 1625–30 into what is now the brewery.
In 1945, the brewery came under state ownership and together with
Budějovický Budvar was incorporated into the national concern
Jihočeské pivovary (South Bohemian Breweries). After privatisation
in 1991, new, modern technology was installed and the brewing
capacity increased, and the Eggenberg brand quickly became well known
and popular again. Visitors can take a tour iin the brewery (every
day from 11.00 a.m) to sample some of the beer produced here.
