Herold beer
History
Beer was first noted to have been commercially brewed here in 1506. Its age puts it firmly towards the top of the list of world's oldest-established companies.
Following World War II, the brewery was taken over by the government and became part of the state-owned Institute for Brewing and Malt Production. Pivovar Herold Březnice is now once more operating under private ownership for the first time since 1945.
In 2008, the brewery was once again under Czech control when Ballena a.s. bought out the American owners, the new owners also resurrected Herold Weizen.
