Brewery in Hlinsko was established in 1913 under the name of the “Social Brewery”. Its first beer was introduced on December 12, 1913. Prosperous corporate performance led to the company´s transformation into a joint-stock company in 1925 and, until October 1, 1996, the company was a member of number of brewing groups. Since its privatization, the company has been owned by IMEX Premium s.r.o., a Czech entity. Immediate investments into production and marketing assured their futher development including, but not limited to, modernization of the main filtration facility and the bottling line, and the introduction of micro-filtration helps to maithain the superior shelf life of bottled beer even without pasteurization. The company hast just succesully completed the reconstruction of its hopped wort cooler, including the heat supply system. A project currently in progress involves the construction of a new fermentation cellar that will substantially improve basic fermentation technology.
