Radegast Ratar beer

Radegast Ratar is an intensely bitter pale lager brewed by the Radegast Brewery. The brand's identity is deeply rooted in Slavic mythology, named after the god Radegast, who is depicted on the label. This specific variant, Ratar, is known for its high bitterness, achieved through a precise hopping process that appeals to those who prefer a strong, sharp taste in their beer.

The history of Radegast dates back to the late 1960s in North Moravia. Today, the brewery is a pillar of the Czech brewing industry, maintaining traditional techniques while operating under modern international management. While the brand has strong local roots in Nošovice, it has expanded its reach as part of a global beverage portfolio.

Currently, Radegast is part of the Plzeňský Prazdroj group, which is a subsidiary of Asahi Group Holdings. Based in Tokyo, Japan, Asahi acquired the brand as part of a major European expansion strategy in 2017. This ownership structure ensures that while the beer remains a quintessential Czech product, it benefits from the global distribution and quality standards of one of the world's largest beverage companies.
