The beer brewery operating in the Benedictine Monastery in Břevnov is considered the oldest in the Czech Republic. Monks made golden drink here in the Middle Ages (the oldest testimonies date from the mid-13th century), and in the years 1720-1889 a thriving brewery existed here. Old traditions were restored at the beginning of the XXI century, when after many decades of break the production of monastery beers was restarted.
The current brewery, existing since 2012, is located in adapted rooms of former stables, and the light and dark beers produced here are sold on site and in the nearby Klášterní šenk restaurant. From the nineteenth century, the monks ceased to make beer on their own - they rented rooms to various breweries.
The currently existing 18th-century Baroque monastery is a building erected on the foundations of the first seat of the Benedictines, who settled in Prague in 993, brought by Bolesław II and Saint. Adalbert. In the era of the Hussite wars, the monastery was severely damaged, and the monks were forced to take refuge in Broumov (currently the Abbot brewery operates).
