HAŠTAL 11

Light lager

It is a classic Czech Pilsner-style lager. A two-mash (decoction) brewed lager of medium bitterness with a full body, whose high "drinkability" was a fundamental requirement during its creation.

This is reflected in the medium bitterness and, not least, in the golden color along with a high and stable foam for a pleasant visual impression.

The chosen ingredients correspond to this type of beer. Light Czech (Pilsner) malt from Bernard Rajhrad malting house and a touch of caramel malt from Soufflet Prostějov malting house. Hops exclusively from Žatec, varieties Sládek and Žatecký poloraný červeňák. Fermentation takes place using the so-called bottom fermentation.

MILO 10

Dark draft beer

Dark Draft Beer MILO 10 is designed for lovers of beers with a full, round body, yet with a more pronounced bitterness. It is a double-mashed brewed beer.

This beer proves that even a ten can be a very interesting experience along with a lower alcohol content (3.9% vol.).

To ensure these sensory qualities of the beer, a melanoidin malt from Weyermann malting was used. The color of this dark specialty, with subdued caramel aroma and flavor, is given by a blend of four dark malts, including Weyermann Carared malt.

For hopping, we chose a single-hop triple dosing with the Žatec variety of hops Vital – so it is a single hop.

CASPARUS 10

Draft top-fermented

CASPARUS 10 is a light, ten-degree top-fermented beer of the pale ale type.

Thus, American Pale Ale is essentially a milder version of American beers India Pale Ale (I.P.A.). When using a combination of Saaz hops Kazbek and American hops Azacca, the result is a charming and fresh blend of hop, earthy, and tropical fruit tones, especially mango. The beer was designed for the Marian pilgrimage in Želiv.

It is cheerful, optimistic, and refreshing.

BARREL AGED BROWN ALE

Barrique

17° Brown Ale - BARRIQUE
Base Beer
As a base for aging, or "barrique," we chose a 17° English brown ALE, darker in color, with a malty taste and a finish of caramel, even chocolate aroma.
The hopping is done using Czech, English, and Saaz hops and is very gentle.
The beer was transferred after the main fermentation to oak barrels for 12 months, previously used for bourbon and whiskey.
The influence of wood on beer aging.
Using wood completely transforms the beer.
It imparts a full spectrum of flavors and changes the mouthfeel in a way that you would never achieve without using oak.
Beers aged in barrels are characterized by aromatic features such as vanilla and oak lactones (fruity aromas).
An integral part of the overall impression is also bourbon and whiskey notes from the previous 19 years of barrel use.
The bitterness and foaminess are somewhat lower, as is typical for English ales.

JIŘÍK'S VIEW

Light wheat

At the Želiv Monastery Brewery, which is part of the Želiv Monastery Resort in the Vysočina region, we have prepared a special historic recipe in collaboration with our friend and master brewer Jirka Pardubský. The result is a unique monastic wheat beer with smoked malts and a delicate hint of herbs that will take you back into the history of Czech brewing.
This regional craft beer from Vysočina is exceptional mainly due to:
• the use of wheat malts typical for historic brewing,
• the inclusion of smoked malts, reminiscent of a time when malt was dried with smoke, acquiring a specific aroma,
• replacing hops with angelica, a herb that was often used in history when hops were scarce.
The result? A pleasant, lightly smoked, less bitter wheat beer, dominated by a smoky aroma and a subtly spicy character.
What is VENI VIDI VICI (JIŘÍKOVO VIDĚNÍ)?
A charitable beer project helping people with serious long-term illnesses.
The charitable beer project VENI VIDI VICI is a continuation of the Jiříkovo vidění charity project, which was born from the idea of helping a blind friend.
After successfully raising funds for blind Jiří and other visually impaired patients, the project guarantors decided not to end the project but to actively seek more people they can help. For the next stage, they chose a disease that many people still do not know and that is very insidious in its progression: ALS – amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Due to international support and for easier communication, the project continues under the name VENI VIDI VICI.

POST 16

Salt Baltic Porter

Our brewery offers a truly special seasonal brew for Lent and Easter, something quite rare.

A 16-degree Baltic porter with the addition of the finest sea salt. The beer itself is brewed with 34% of light, caramel, and chocolate malts from Weyermann malting house. The remaining grains are barley malts.

The hopping is done with Žatec hops, specifically the Premiant and Uran varieties, which smell of garlic, onion, and subtle citrus notes – another rarity.

The result is a truly salty beer, where the taste and aroma impressions come gradually after swallowing each sip. It surprisingly pairs well with a variety of dishes. However, we especially recommend it with seafood and marine delicacies.

HIERONYMUS 18

Bavarian wheat bock

This is a Bavarian weizenbock, designed with a greater emphasis on working with malts and simultaneously fruitiness in the aroma thanks to German Huel Mellon hops. The yeast used are not typically "weizen-style," but rather those used for English stouts. The result is a very interesting perspective on wheat beer.

Why Hieronymus 18❓

The beer is named after Father Jerome (from Latin Hieronymus) Hlína, a prominent abbot of Želiv, who invited architect Jan Blažeje Santini-Aichel to design the monastic abbot's church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in the form we know today. At the same time, this year we celebrate an important anniversary of J. B. Santini-Aichel's death.

SIARD 11

Top-fermented lager

Wheat beer of the weizen bier type. It is a specific type of top-fermented beer that is increasingly gaining supporters in the Czech Republic.
It originates from the Bavaria and Upper Austria regions. Its freshness and lightness are especially suitable for the warm summer months. "Weizen" top-fermentation yeasts give a pronounced banana and clove aroma. The beer has a lower bitterness. It is quite pale and has a higher yeast haze.

Pale ale malt from the Bernard Rajhrad maltery and a majority of wheat malt from the Weyermann maltery ensure the desired qualities of our weizen. Žatec's semi-round red malt and German Hallertauer Mittelfrüh hops provide a mild bitterness and a pleasant hop-to-flower aroma. All are complemented by the aforementioned qualities of Bavarian yeast. When serving, we recommend adding a slice of lemon to the glass.

QUESTENBERG 14

Dark wheat

This dark wheat beer has a stronger, fuller body, in accordance with the best Bavarian traditions.

Top fermentation with a specific yeast strain gives it a characteristic clove and banana aroma. Mild "weizen" acidity is balanced by chocolate and caramel flavors and aromas.

​The final effect is achieved by malts – barley PALE ALE from the Bernard Rajhrad malting house, special barley and wheat malts from Weyermann Bamberg malting house, and unmalted wheat.

​The wheat addition accounts for 48%. The hops used, both Saaz (varieties Sládek and Žatecký poloranný červeňák) and German (Hallertauer Mittelfrüh and Callista), create a balanced and light impression.

This beer can be recommended both with dark meats and sweet cuisine.

VITUS 14

historical recipe

The uniqueness of this beer, brewed in the monastic brewery in Želiv, is due to a historic recipe from 1626, aiming to closely resemble historic beers. The result is truly worth tasting. In old times, a cheaper wheat malt was often used, which was dried over an open flame, giving it a slight smoky flavor. In the past, herbs, spices, and similar ingredients were added to the beer.

Thanks to the knowledge and skill of our master brewer, Mr. Jiří Kratochvíl, you can now indulge in a harmony of flavors, in which you will feel not only the subtly smoky malt and hop components but also fruity tones in the background, with earthiness and a pleasant bitterness from angelica and wormwood.
