The first Czech Restaurant-Minibrewery Pivovarský dvůr Chýně was put into service in autumn 1992.
The whole building in which is the brewery and restaurant located belongedin the past to the Monastery and before the reconstruction has been used as a stable.The technological equipment for the brewery was supplied by company ZVU Hradec Kralove a.s. and the majority is of Czech origin.
| We use traditional raw materials as malt, hops and water. Capacity of the whole equipment is cca 2 000 hi of beer/annum. At present there are produced two sorts of beer:12 Grades Dvorni lezak GRANAT (lager beer) which is served straight on in the Restaurant, 10 Grades light beer which is supplied in drums to the other restaurants. Cca 50% of the total production is the 12 Grades beer GRANAT. All beer is served as yeast ones not filtrated, therefore is slightly hazy. The hazy appearance is due to brewer, s yeast. Within common beer production is the filtration of the yeast included. But the yeast contains a lot of vitamines and other substances which are having positive influence on human organism. And especially the yeast's presence creates the characteristic flavour and fragrance of this beer.
| The production of the beer itself is relatively complicated process which includes three main steps. First phase of the production is done in the boiling house which is in fact part of Restaurant interioir. Here is done the proces of strach cleavage (contained in malt) on simple sugars. This is done under special temperatures scale and presence of enzymes contained in malt. Than must be separated brewer's grains in the strain tank. The twelve hours boiling process with hops follows and the result is so called hopped wort. The cooling process onto 6 Centigrades follows, the hopped wort is pumped into the fermentation is finished, than the beer is put into the lager tank in which the final phase of the production is done end fermentation/mature process. The time for end fermentation depends on beer grades. For 12 grades beer is cca 5-6 weeks. After end fermentation process is the beer served directly from the lager tank.
