We love exceptional flavors

It all started in 2011 in the Jihlavský Radniční brewery. We brewed a then unprecedented beer XXI in the style of Barley Wine and from our winemaker friend Honza Stávka we got a keg after his amazing red liqueur wine Lokus. The Barley Wine matured beautifully in that barrel and it created an incredible explosion of flavours. XXI was then ahead of its time, but we will definitely come back to it one day!
We were intrigued by the fusion of the world of beer and wine.
And we still are!
The current edition of these specials includes:

Biere Brut

Ice Ice Baby
Warming strong ice beer

Sin Kitty
Pink beer with Hibernal grapes
Biére Brut is a unique noble top-fermented beer fermented in the bottle with champagne wine yeast. We were inspired by Belgian breweries who took their beers to famous wine houses in the Champagne region, where they were inoculated with wine yeast and fermented in bottles.
We teamed up with sparkling wine specialist Martin Prokeš from the PROQIN winery and every year a new batch of our Biere Brut is created from our collaboration. We let the beer we brew ferment and age, then we pitch it in the winery and add the right amount of the right yeast. After fermentation, the same process takes place as in sparkling wine production - that is, shaking off and shooting off the yeast.
Every harvest is different, we experiment a little bit each time, but each one is worth tasting. We currently have Biére Brut Vintage 2023 on sale.
How to extract the "extra" water from the grapes and get the most intense flavour? In the wine world, grape dryers are used in which the harvested grapes are dried to make their juice more concentrated. Another way is to leave grapes in the vineyard until the chilly weather sets in, then picking the frozen grapes and squeezing out only the juice without water crystals.
And that's exactly what we do with our beer. We freeze and rack the unfrozen part without the "unnecessary" water and then let it age. Preferably with oak wood. This style of beer is called Eisbock and we are currently selling a batch we brewed in the fall of 2023. It has a respectable 21% alcohol and is definitely among the elite of Czech strong beers.
And what's the best? You can keep a bottle at home for up to ten years. And what's inside will only get better!
With Sin Kitty, we have pushed the connection of the beer and wine worlds the furthest. We used grapes of aromatic Hibernal grape variety that ripened near Šitbořice, our MadCat girls gently "squeezed " them and then added them to the brewed beer. The result is a pink Sour Ale with grape wine and hibiscus, slightly sour, with a strong wine accent in aroma and taste.
A portion of each batch of Sin Kitty goes into wooden red wine barrels from the Špalkovi family winery. The beer is then aged for several months in one of the stone cellars with Brettanomyces yeast, and we call it Barrel Aged Wild Rosé Sour.
