Our beer

During its short existence, the Kocour Brewery has brewed beer in more than ten beer styles. These are determined by historical conditions, the use of raw materials and the type of fermentation. Recently, also by the cooperation of brewers from different parts of the world, when new categories are created.

Beer is commonly brewed in a hundred basic styles in the world. For example, here you have already been able to taste a black top-fermented special with coffee tones of the stout style, a wheat top-fermented beer of the Bavarian type weizen, a top-fermented light pale ale from the original homeland of this style from the British Isles with English hops or its reincarnation from beyond the Great Puddle using American hops with pronounced citrus tones.

Belgian beer styles

Last year in the summer season it was a Belgian saison beer, in the winter time for a change another Belgian abbey style (monastery beer). Really strong specials such as "ale" K31 - 31° and 12.3% alcohol have also found their place.

Visegrád beer cooperation

We continuously brew a light and dark Czech-style lager and a number of popular specials. As part of international cooperation, we also brewed the smoked V3 Rauch beer in cooperation with the Slovak microbrewery Kaltenecker in Rožňava. V3 is not the name of the successor to the feared rockets from World War II, V3 stands for Visegrád beer cooperation.

Third in the party is a Hungarian microbrewery, with which we prepared the V3 Tokaj beer with marc from Tokaj wine.

First beer in international collaboration

The first beer based on international collaboration was Kocour Ken, a top-fermented semi-dark beer in the Scottish Ale category, the recipe of which was prepared for us by Ken Duncan, head brewer of the Scottish brewery Inveralmond.

Japanese brewer Toshi Ishii

Last fall, we brewed the first batch of the now stable representative of the Kocour series, Kocour Samurai. The author of the beer is Japanese brewer Toshi Ishii, who has many years of experience brewing extra bitter pale ales from the iconic Californian brewery Stone Brewing.

Irish brewer Gazz Prescott

Another successful piece is the Baltic-type porter GYPSY PORTER by Irish nomadic brewer Gazz Prescott.

For Kocour beers, our brewery cooperates mainly with the company Pivo Praha, which is the only supplier of top-fermenting yeast strains in the Czech Republic.

For some time now, cross-border cooperation has been established with the German brewery Bergquell-Brauerei Löbau, a producer of top-fermented Porter beers.
