Restoring Brewery
Resuming the operation of the Chříč brewery was not a part of the original plan. It was only after we settled in the derelict buildings that we began to discover the charm of the place where they brewed beer already in 1560. The first plan was to establish a sheltered workshop and organize craft activities there. The old brewery premises, its kiln, malt house, threshing floor, fermenting cellars and beer-storing cellars impressed us so much that we asked old witnesses for help and started to consider reconstruction
of the original form of the brewery and think about pitching and rounding barrels and about the smell of brewed malt...
Our thoughts eventually matured – like a good lager - into the idea of linking the plans for making old
crafts, a sheltered workshop and plans for producing beer. In the future we would like to resume brewing
beer according to traditional recipes and methods and the entire operation will be built in barrier-free
standards so that people with various disabilities can work there in the unique „sheltered brewery“. A similar type of enterprise is as far as 1000 kilometres away – in Belgium.

We will brew beer of the Czech type - unfiltered wheat beer from the Czech hops and malt. The original equipment is unfortunately not preserved, but our plan is to rebuild the brewery with all respect to old traditions.
