Březňák

Beer Description

Březňák is connected to the Velké Březno brewery in northern Bohemia, whose brewing tradition reaches back to the nineteenth century. The brand became part of Heineken’s Czech brewing portfolio when Heineken Czech Republic took ownership of the Velké Březno brewery in 2008. As a Czech lager identity, Březňák is built around golden colour, clean fermentation, malt balance, and firm but approachable bitterness. Within the archive, it represents regional Czech brewing heritage carried into a modern international portfolio.
