The more brands like this break in with good beers, the more chance there is there may one day be more to the store shelves than gambrinostaropramen divide.. At least, it's a dream I have, not having to go halfway across down with a sturdy backpack just to get some bottles of what I'd like to drink.majknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042627331437123482.post-13853316476750355742009-12-09T07:29:45.330+01:002009-12-09T07:29:45.330+01:00It is if you build a facility like Chotěboř's ...It is if you build a facility like Chotěboř's from scratch, one with a capacity of 10.000 hl from day one. One thing is being brave, another is being stupid, building a brewery like this to brew "ales" in CZ would be quite stupid.<br /><br />I'm not saying Kocour, Žamberk and a couple others don't deserve kudos for what they are doing, they do, and a lot, but they are micros, and so, a lot more flexible.<br /><br />Primátor, well, also deserves a lot of credit (and it does get plenty here), but once again, they are a well established brewery. At worst, their investment consisted only on adding a couple of small fermenting tanks for their Stout, EPA and Weizen.Pivní Filosofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883511608403454943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042627331437123482.post-70482896998584595902009-12-08T23:36:08.261+01:002009-12-08T23:36:08.261+01:00Shock!

Forgive my cynicism but surely the last thing the Czech Republic needs is yet another pale lager specialist? <br /><br />In reality the Czech Republic needs a wider distribution for the likes of Kocour, Primator and Zamberk, who are doing genuinely different things rather than simply re-inventing the Bohemian zythophilic wheel!<br /><br />Yes the Czech market is conservative, but that is why someone like Kocour is striking a chord with the more adventurous beer drinkers in the Czech Republic? Fighting for market share in an already crowded market is not a recipe for commercial success.<br /><br />Is really "brave" doing what a couple of hundred other brewers within your own borders are doing?Velky Alhttp://www.fuggled.netnoreply@blogger.com
