Brněnské pivo

Brněnské pivo refers to beer from Brno, the second-largest city in the Czech Republic, located in the South Moravian region. The term is a general designation for beers brewed in Brno, a city with a brewing tradition dating back to the 13th century.

Brněnské pivo is a reflection of Brno’s deep-rooted brewing tradition, characterized by its high-quality lagers, rich flavors, and smooth drinkability. The beer from Brno is predominantly Czech-style pale lager (světlý ležák), brewed using Moravian barley, Saaz hops, soft water, and traditional bottom-fermentation methods that create a crisp, refreshing taste with a perfect balance of malt sweetness and hop bitterness.

While it is not a specific brand, Brněnské pivo is often associated with local breweries, particularly Pivovar Starobrno, the most famous brewery in the city, founded in 1872, but with brewing roots stretching back to 1325. Other notable breweries in Brno include Pivovar Hauskrecht, known for its unfiltered traditional Czech lagers, and Pivovar Moravia, a revived historical brewery producing classic Czech lagers and specialty beers.
