Svijany Šlik lager beer

Svijany Šlik is a traditional Czech lager produced by the Svijany Brewery (Pivovar Svijany). The brewery, located in the village of Svijany, has a long history dating back to 1564, making it one of the oldest breweries in the Czech Republic. It is highly regarded for adhering to traditional brewing methods, such as using open fermentation tanks and avoiding pasteurization to maintain the beer's authentic flavor profile.

Today, the brand is owned by Pivovar Svijany a.s., which is part of the larger LIF industrial group. Unlike many other major Czech beer brands that have been acquired by multinational conglomerates, Svijany remains under Czech ownership. The company has focused on expanding its domestic market share while maintaining its identity as a 'family-style' brewery that champions traditional Czech brewing heritage.
