Artesian wells

What’s so special about them, and what role do they play in brewing beer? It is widely known that water is one of the most important ingredients in the process. The water we use for our beer is obtained from 300 meters deep wells reaching down to the tertiary substratum of the České Budějovice Basin. At this depth we get access to unique, soft water from an underground lake formed 10,000 years ago during the Ice Age. Water drawn from these deep wells has a near perfect composition, requires no chemical treatment, and its purity meets the strictest criteria stipulated for water intended for infants.

But the water needs to be married with other important ingredients – cones of the finest Žatec hops, select Moravian malt, and our original yeast.
