Budějovický Budvar is one of the most successful food production companies in the Czech Republic. It was founded as Český akciový pivovar, and the fi rst batch of beer was brewed on 7 October 1895. The founders were brewers of Czech nationality holding the brewing privilege whose families had inherited the right to brew beer since the city’s foundation in 1265. The founders have thus enriched the new brewery with a famous tradition or Budějovice beer brewing (known as BUDWEISER BIER since the Middle Ages) as well as the professional knowledge of many generations of brewers. Despite a great increase in production, the beer from Budějovický Budvar is still produced using traditional Czech technology, and its taste and quality have remained the same for several generations.
