BERNARD " IN OUR OWN WAY "
History
On
October 26, 1991 Stanislav Bernard, Josef Vávra and Rudolf Šmejkal
launched the revival of a Humpolec brewery constructed in the 16th
century. It did not take long and the Family Brewery in Humpolec and
the Bernard beer brand became known throughout the Czech Republic, and
are still striving for a position among the premier brands.
We
all know how many brands of beer there are in our country. To be
different on the Czech beer market, we chose to produce traditional
unpasteurised beer, brewed with craftsmanship and the best ingredients.
Thanks to these traditional procedures, Bernard beer is distinguished
by its harmony of fullness and bitterness.
Three things make Bernard an exceptional beer:
The first is the recipe, specific to the Bernard brand.
The
second is ingredients. High quality malt, produced in our own Bernard
floor malt house in Rajhrad u Brna, where traditional production
methods are maintained. Likewise, we use the highest quality Czech
barley, which guarantees the correct bitterness. Furthermore, spring
water from the Czech Moravian highlands has ideal characteristics for
beer brewing.
Lastly,
there’s the unique procedure of the beer’s final treatment
microfiltration, which makes Bernard a truly exceptional beer.
The Family Brewery in Humpolec is still growing, and not only in terms of the success of its products. Since the year 2000 it has acted as a joint stock company and in July 2001 it increased its base capital with the entry of a strategic partner, Duvel Moortgat from the Belgian Kingdom.
