Luční, the name means 'of the meadow', is a spring herbal lager, available until it sells out. Nettle and lady's mantle go into the brew, hopped with the Czech variety Sládek. It belongs to Speciály z Prazdroje, the programme that follows the earlier Volba sládků: in selected pubs and restaurants in Czechia and Slovakia the publican builds a calendar of beer specials from a wider range.
