Your support = Rebirth of Brewery in Malesov

Malesov Friendly Brewery is testing its luck on Kickstarter

The friends from Malesov are trying whether a small Czech brewery can succeed on the international Kickstarter. Their goal is to raise $100 000 to purchase the brewery technology. You may have heard of them already – their beer is available also with the bottle label created by Warhorse studios.

Malesov Friendly Brewery is looking for financial support to purchase the brewery technology. They hope in the support of the beer fans both from the Czech Republic but also from other countries. Many foreign tongues had the chance to taste the beer from Malesov brewery during the world championship of medieval martial arts Battle of the Nations or thanks to the on-line sales to other countries. And many have come back as satisfied customers for more…

Their satisfaction and interest is not the only reason why the brewery team decided to try their luck on the crowdfunding platform. They currently have at their side a powerful ally – the Warhorse game studio who has decided to offer its fans, besides virtual experiences, also the taste of a real great beer. Why Warhorse decided to cooperate with Malesov is clear. The currently developed game Kingdom Come: Deliverance, takes place in the medieval times on the territory of present day Czech Republic not far from the Malesov Castle. And the founder of Warhorse Daniel Vavra always wanted to create a label for a beer bottle…

Malesov Brewery brews Lager, India Pale Ale, and Weizen after its own recipes, however, currently in the contract brewing mode. “To have our beer made in other breweries is organizationally ineffective, expensive, and it is not the ‘real thing’. We cannot continue without having our own stone brewery,” explains Jan Prokop, one of the co-founders of the brewery. The restoration of the building, where the brewery will be located is already underway, and even though the beer is good and is selling well, the revenues from this small operation cannot cover the investment of obtaining their own technology and starting own production. With sufficient financial aid, the production could start by June 2016.

The possibility to support the project called „Friendly Brewery – Medieval Castle Brewery Restoration” will begin on August 3rd at 9:00 am on the www.kickstarter.com and will finish on September 17th at 9:00 am. Among the rewards you will be able to get original ingredients for your own Malesov home brew or the possibility to experience medieval times in the castle Malesov.

About the Brewery
The future Brewery will be located in Malesov near Kutna Hora, Czech Republic. Both Czech towns have a long history reaching into the medieval times. The area around Kutna Hora was rich with silver and the former wealth is still seen everywhere in the form of majestic buildings. One of them is the Malesov castle, where the story of the Brewery started. A group of friends, history enthusiasts, begun its restoration in 2002 and after ten years of hard work and the success of bringing the 14th century building back to life, they had a real craving for a beer. And that is how the idea of a rebirth of a brewery that existed next to the castle from the 16th century until the end of the war, came about. Although their plan is to brew in the original medieval cellars, the method of brewing will be quite modern. Their goal is not to get the customer drunk, but rather to offer a true gourmet experience from the beer and perfectly matching food. They want to work hard to join in the effort of improving the Bohemian beer culture.
