The beginning of brewing in Strakonice dates back to the 14th century when the local townsfolk acquired brewing privileges in the form of a deed by Bavor IV. In 1873, the construction of the new steam-engine brewery on the bank of the Otava River was initiated. This is a dominant of the embankment even today, and the brewery premises serve for social events, such as for example the beer pilgrimage.
