A visit to Únětický pivovar

The last visit I organised for the Brewery History Society trip to Prague was to Únětický pivovar. I'd become a big fan of their beer on work trips to Prague, and previously scouted out the feasibility of a visit.

The brewery is in a glorious old brewery building:



The the actual brewhouse is surprisingly small nowadays:


So they still have space for a boules rink:


Once again there were lots of open fermenters:



And an awful lot of conditioning tanks:



And yes, we did drink some beer straight from them:

    Wow, straight from the conditioning tanks - doesn't get much better than that! I wonder why their actual brewhouse is so small - did you get much more information on this?

      I didn't ask I'm afraid. I would guess it's the original brewhouse they put in, and they've steadily been adding fermenters and conditioning tanks.
