What Beskydský pivovárek does

Beskydský pivovárek, s.r.o. is a privately held Czech microbrewery founded in spring 2013 and headquartered at č.p. 449, 739 14 Ostravice, in the Beskydy mountain region. The company brews beer from 100% natural ingredients — Haná region malt, Žatec hops, and Beskydy mountain spring water — and produces an unfiltered, mostly unpasteurized ("live") portfolio spanning traditional Czech lagers (Beskydský ležák accounts for roughly 50% of output) and 40+ craft styles including IPA, APA, NEIPA, Stout, ALE, Vienna-style beers, and specialty variants such as Medový ležák and Beskydské hořké made with Oregon hops. Packaging is offered in 0.5l cans, 1l PET, and 1.5l PET formats, with kegs supplied to on-trade partners.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market model combining direct-to-consumer sales (on-site Pivovarská hospůdka restaurant with 80-100 seats, the Pivovarská stodola event venue for up to 150 people outdoors, and an owned e-shop) with a wholesale channel of 30+ partner pubs, restaurants, and hotels across Brno, Ostrava, Opava, Olomouc, and Prague. Additional revenue streams include a custom-label corporate service (minimum 300 bottles/cans; clients include Hyundai, Pells, and Vysoká škola báňská Ostrava), "Brew Your Own Beer" experience packages at 9,990 Kč (1 person) and 15,990 Kč (2 persons), and merchandise (t-shirts 390 Kč, hoodies 790 Kč, gift vouchers 500 Kč). The company is a member of Svaz minipivovarů (Union of Microbreweries), partners with the Beskydská pivní stezka (Beskydy Beer Trail) and CHKO Beskydy protected landscape area, and co-financed a 73.255 kWp photovoltaic installation in 2022 with EU support. Headcount is in the 11-50 band, and no external investors, subsidiaries, or M&A activity are disclosed.
