Kutná Hora is an old medieval town whose importance, prosperity and size nearly comparable to Prague at the time and this was mainly due to the local silver mines. No wonder then that it had established its brewery as early as 15th century which in turn that soon became notorious for high-quality beer. This has remained the case up until modern ages when Heineken bought the brewery only to close it within the brief period of time.
The closure brought about a major frustration among beer drinkers as the brand was being loved by locals and doing very well on the market. Luckily, this was not to last for long as a local entrepreneur restarted brewing at the same historical premises and the brewery is at high demand again. There is a reason: The Kutná Hora 12 is now considered one of the best pilsener type Real Bohemian Lager on the market.
Original ingredients, double mashing, open fermentation and traditional cellars are all parts of the fantastic heritage, therefore this beer is now enjoyed not only locally, but also in Prague and many other European markets.

We have celebrated 500 years of brewing at the same premises!
The flavour is malty, slightly spicy, with a tad of honey. It has moderate sharpness and bitterness, the latter being perfectly integrated into the rather light body of the beer. Pilsner malt is complemented by Munich malt, making it feel almost like a cross between a Bohemian lager and a German Helles.

A full-bodied Czech pilsener with a dark golden colour, dry-hopped with the Czech hop variety Kazbek. A fulsome malt backbone leads into lightly spicy, robust Saaz hop character, with further lingering hoppiness from the dry-hopping. Finishing crisp and delightful.

Kutná Hora’s new dark lager was an instant success upon its launch three years ago, in line with their excellent Pilsners. In fact, the colour is so dark that the beer falls into the Black Lager category, a very rare style at the time (not many black lagers were on the market, if any). It showcases a medium body, a dry character and balanced bitterness, avoiding any overly sweet notes. The aroma features an extensive range of flavours, almost like a porter—caramel, coffee and dark chocolate—all in the right balance, without overdoing the caramel. The body, on the other hand, is light, reminding us that this is still a lager. A superbly drinkable and rare black lager.
