Authentic since 1581, Krusovice is one of the oldest heritage Czech beer brands. Brewed with noble Saaz hops from the famous Bohemia region, Krusovice has a distinctive character. The taste was so exceptional that King Rudolf II-the Mad Alchemist-purchased the brewery in 1583; naming it The Royal Brewery of Krusovice. To this day Krusovice remains the only Czech beer brands to ever be owned by the Czech royal family.
