The most used names for this kind of beer around the world are Pils, Pilsener or Bohemian Pilsener. Because of the laws in Czech we cannot use any of these names, so we simply call our beer special Svetle (light) beer. It is the most widespread type of beer in the world.

The Matuška Brewery was founded on April 13th, 2009, which was an Easter Monday. The very first batch was brewed on this day and the beer was our special dark lager beer. The brewery falls in the mini-brewery category and it was founded by brewmaster Martin Matuška, who has been working in the beer industry since 1981.
