overview about the place The first mention of beer brewing in Kostelec nad Černými lesy was related to the promotion of the village to a town in 1489. The new-age history of the brewery began in 1836, when the brewery opposite the chateau burned to the ground, after which a new brewery and malt house were built in their present location. The brewery compound consists of three blocks of buildings, dominated by an important technical monument - the unique octagonal threshing floor with a horizontal horse-gin, most likely the largest structure of its kind in Europe. Incidentally, you can learn all about it during a tour of the extensive National Beer Brewing Museum, which has managed to bring together a unique collection of technological brewing systems at this site. more about the place Kostelec beers: 10° Dešťoffka (draft beer), 11° Smetanový ležák (creamy lager), 12° Vycpaná vydra (lager), 13° Černá svině (dark), 13° Marcovní pivo (March beer), 19° Poslední pardubický Porter (Last Pardubice Porter) Brewery pub: the best of home cooking Accommodation National Brewing Museum: guided tours for the public
