Harrachov Beer is the Best!!
The Harrachov Brewery and its pale lager, František, have won the prestigious “Extra pivní pečeť” (Extra Beer Seal) award.
At the recent 21st Festival of Beer and Mineral Water in Tabor[H1] , the prestigious "Extra pivní pečeť" (Extra Beer Seal) prize was awarded to the pale lager, František, made by the Harrachov mini brewery owned by the Novosad glass works.
At the final tasting, when choosing the winner of all the twelve categories, the tasters gave it the largest number of votes. Before that this beer had won its basic category of pale lagers from mini breweries and was awarded the "Zlatá pivní pečeť" (Golden Beer Seal). Almost fifty samples competed in this category. None of the competing mini breweries had ever managed to win the "Extra pivní pečet'" (Extra Beer Seal) award.
About 100 breweries both from the Czech Republic and from abroad participated in the Festival of Beer and Mineral Water in Tabor. The tasters tasted about 460 samples. The competing samples of beer had been sent by breweries from 13 countries, including Germany, Belgium, Belarus, the Netherlands, Japan, Kazakhstan, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Austria, Russia, and Scotland.
The winning beer can be tasted by the general public in the brewery restaurant of the Harrachov glass works. This delicious 12-degree beer may be bought in the restaurant and at the reception in original plastic bottles. Due to the capacity of the brewery it cannot be bought anywhere else.
It has been known for a long time not only by experts that the Harrachov beer belongs among the top quality Czech beers. It is served unfiltered and non-pasteurized and it is made from top-class local ingredients and, above all, from untreated water from the brewery's own mountain spring, which is more than 200 years old.
It is a good idea to combine the tasting of the Harrachov beer with an excursion to the local historical glass works and to try the unique beer spa, which has been in operation there for a few years. The combination of glass, beer and a bath is simply something worth trying...
