About the brewery
Beer was evidently brewed in Bohemia in the first millenium AD. The Benedictines in the Břevnov monastery (Prague) kept records of brewing and wine making as early as 993. Home brewing, common in those times, evolved in the 13-15th centuries into a number of professional crafts. From time immemorial, the burgers of Rakovník brewed two kinds of beer: white-wheat and red-barley. The wheat brand was pale and was called a white beer too. It had a body and sweetish taste. Thin beer was often brewed after this: more mash was left in the malt grist left over to give it a long fermentation and make a kind of weak beer, mainly dispensed to servants and the poor.
