FAMILY BEER TRIPS

The surroundings of the Únětice brewery are full of beautiful and interesting places. And the excellent draught beer in our inn tastes even better after a good trip.

KOZÍ HŘBETY / GOAT RIDGE

This is a silicate ridge south-east of Únětice, whose peak served as a cult site in pagan times. In 1928, workers found six daggers with accessories hidden under a big stone (today housed at the National Museum in Prague). One of the daggers, which was triangular, made of bronze, inlaid with amber, with a decorated blade and a hollow, perforated hilt is absolutely unique in the world. The entire treasure belongs amongst the best-known artefacts of the Bronze Age in the whole of Europe.

ALŠOVA VYHLÍDKA / ALEŠ`S VIEWPOINT

A promontory under the peak of the “Holý vrch” (Bare hill) over the valley of the Únětice stream, with beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. The viewpoint was named after the painter Mikoláš Aleš, who liked to visit the place with his friends.

TROJANŮV MLÝN / TROJAN`S MILL

A water mill on the Únětice stream in the Tiché údolí (Silent valley). Grain has been ground here since the middle of the 12th century. A cultural monument, the mill is a popular destination for filmmakers — for instance the series “Byli jednou dva písaři” (There used to be two penmen) based on the novel Bouvard and Pécuchet by Gustav Flaubert.

ÚNĚTICE ANCIENT BURIAL GROUND

The Únětice culture, an entire European culture of the late Bronze Age, was named after the items discovered here.

LEVÝ HRADEC HILLFORT

The first Christian church in the Czech lands, the Church of St. Clement, was the first to be built in Bohemia, at a time before Prague was established as the capital of the Přemyslid state.

ŘIVNÁČ HILLFORT

This was established in the Eneolithic time (ca 4400 till 2000 BC) by members of the Řivnáč culture. Archaeologists have found fragments of ceramics here and, of these, the horned ears of the containers are the most significant, and probably have a ritual meaning.

STŘÍBRNÍK VIEWPOINT

An amazing view of the meanders of the Moldau river.

CAIRN KRLÍŠ AND THE PAGAN GROVE ERZ

The famous battle of the book “Old Czech Tales” took place here, in which the Czech army led by the hero Tur famously beat the Lučan tribe.

THE RUIN OF THE CASTLE OF OKOŘ

This castle was built in the 14th century by the citizen František Rokycanský from the Old Town of Prague and it belonged among the most luxurious of noblemen`s homes during the era of Charles IV. Only the torso of the tower remains now, and it is surrounded by partly collapsed walls. Concerts, swordfights, and competitions for children take place here in the summertime.

Únětice Beer, 10°

Unfiltered, pale draft beer

The true Czech Tenner. You will see a light haze against light, caused by the natural content of the brewing yeast and other health-beneficial substances. The pleasant bread-like taste joins the prime bitterness of hops in a space just so very close to heaven. The tricksy smell will remind you of a walk through an alley of horse chestnut trees in bloom. It is a perfect choice for the start and for setting your taste on the beer note before the stronger colleagues of the Tenner come.

Únětice beer, 10,7°

Filtered, pale draft beer

A unique beer balancing on the edge of a Tenner and a Twelver, and yet not an Elevenner. A precisely carved-out taste with the touches of linden wood and walnuts is joined by the smell of a cracked-up crust of freshly baked bread. It deserves to be drunk from a glass facing the sun rays thanks to the ducat-like, goldish sparkle.

Únětice Beer, 12°

Unfiltered, pale lager beer

A solid lager beer of the typical Czech type. The slightly foggy colour might remind you of the princess with golden hair, combing her braids in the morning haze. The fundamental taste of the good old times with strokes of ripe apricots and graded gingerbread heart is balanced by the manly bitterness of the hops. We recommend it to the experts and to the advanced ones.

Our awards

Únětice beer has won several prizes due to its quality. The Únětice Twelver succeeded in the survey of the Friends of Beer Association (FoBA) as the “springer” of the year and also placed third among the 12° beers.

The Únětice Ten received first prize from the FoBA in 2012; in this year, the Únětice Ten, the Únětice 12° and the Únětice brewery as a whole all achieved highest positions in the survey.

The brewery also placed among the 100 best Czech breweries in the survey.

Únětice Christmas Special Beer, 13°

Unfiltered, semi-dark special beer

The semi-dark stocking stuffer for all the good beer lovers. The beer is produced by the secret recipe of the legendary Únětice brewery master Vladimír Černohorský. It is based on the “holy quaternity” of barley malts – the holy pilsner, the Munich, the caramel and the colouring ones, hand in hand with the bitterness of the first-class Czech hops. A beer which one can “chew”, with a medium tang and a gourmet caramel aftertaste.

Únětice summer special, 8°

Unfiltered, pale draft beer

This refreshing summer beer is so light that is must be drunk veeeery fast, so that it does not run out of the glass. The colour resembles dandelions in bloom and the fine foam head is reminiscent of dandelion fluff. The mild base is balanced by a decent bitterness, set just right. When one breathes in, a freshly-scythed meadow passes through the nostrils. This purely natural drink tends to be especially appreciated by the velocipedists (bikers) and by those who gravitate to remote places.

Únětice Special Beer, St. Wenceslaus 14°

Unfiltered, pale lager beer

A festive lager beer brewed at the triple mash, using the New Zealand hops. Unique beer of the colour of autumn leaves with the duke`s cap of the thick foam, prepared in honour of the Days of Czech beer and St. Wenceslaus – the patron of brewers. Duke of Czech lands, do not let us or our descendants perish of thirst!

Únětice Special Beer, 16° carnival bock

Unfiltered, semi-dark special beer

A bottom-fermented beer of a rich goldish to copperish colour for the real experts. A higher alcohol content around 6 %. The taste is dominated by malt brevity with a touch of honey-gingerbread. A light hops bitterness comes then in the aftertaste.
