The brewery with malt house in Nova Paka – Novopacke pivo

History of beer brewing in Nová Paka stretches far to the history. In the 16th century, the town of Nová Paka was granted a document by Burián Trčka of Lípa, by which the construction of the malt house and brewery as well as brewing and sales of beer were permitted. However, it is known from historical sources that the brewery and malt house had been in this town long ago. Before the current joint-stock brewery with malt house was established in the 19th century, there had been two other breweries – in Dřevěnice and Pecka – in the Kumburk estate, where Nová Paka had also belonged to. Both were possessed by the then owner of the whole Kumburk estate, Karel knight Trautmannsdorf. After the construction of a modern brewery in Nová Paka, both were closed in due time.

Brewery Nová Paka Inc. is the individual small independent Czech brewery. The foundation stone of the brewery was laid in 1871, the whole building was erected during the first year and the first batch of beer was brewed. Since the foundation of the brewery, the production of beer has never ceased.

Water provided from 90 m deep artesian well, own malt, quality Czech hops and brewery yeasts are used for the production. The Nová Paka beer is famous for its agreeable bitterness, malt aroma and golden colour and you can find it outside the area in all the ends of the world.

The brewery of Nová Paka has an ideal opportunity to continue in the original Czech brewing of the golden beverage and offer to the customers so often asked "variety". Many awards awarded to the brewery of Nová Paka can verify it. However, the best proof of it is the ever increasing popularity and consumption of our beer in the Czech Republic and abroad.
