Known for a full range of styles

Beer has been brewed in Krušovice since 1581, and in 1583 the brewery was bought by Rudolf II, who raised it to a royal brewery. Today the brewers work with hops from the Žatec region, water from the nearby Křivoklát forests and selected Czech and Moravian barley. The range runs from a ten-degree draught lager through premium pale lagers to a dark beer, a wheat beer and an alcohol-free lager. Since 2008 the brewery has been part of the Heineken portfolio.

They stay close to the peer baseline on their recurring notes.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
