Our story has been developing for more than 10 years. At the start of our journey, we didn\u2019t even dream of being able to build a successful craft microbrewery in such a short time, whose products would be offered by the best establishments in Prague, around the Czech Republic and abroad.<\/p>

So, how did it all begin?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The idea of making his own brewery was born in Ivan Hus\u00e1k\u2019s head in 2010. When he presented his vision at a family party, his brother just knocked his forehead and said: \u201cYou're a total crackpot...\u201d This is how one of our beers' most memorable names emerged: Magor, meaning something between crackpot and lunatic. Even though it may have seemed an insane plan at first, it didn\u2019t take long for the dream to come true.<\/p>

Thus, the Family Brewery Zichovec was founded in the eponymous village located near the town of Slan\u00fd in 2012. The project did not involve building the brewery only. The objective was overall development of the village, so a new municipal office, a boarding house, a general store, a restaurant, a social hall, and even a chapel were built, essentially on a greenfield site. The chapel became symbolic of our brewery, and was made a part of our visual identity. The shape of this little house is distinctive, and the graphic design of our label is based on it. At first, our offer included bottom-fermented beers almost exclusively.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Not long after we established the brewery, we were captivated by the combination of beer and wooden barrels. The first cask we bought had contained port. It had just been tapped, and 1 litre of the wine still remained, so we gave it a proper tasting. We have filled more than 100 barrels with various beer styles since then, and thank God we have never ceased to be fascinated by this road we have taken. It was here where we understood each beer needs its own time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
