1. Selský pivovárek

1. Selský pivovárek is a microbrewery on the edge of Kroměříž. Alongside the pale lagers Sedláček and Sedlák, it brews other styles too, such as the top-fermented Maryška, the dark stout Krok do tmy, the Vienna lager C. & K. and the amber ale McHugo. You can buy the beer right at the brewery, which also sells poppy seeds and caraway from its own fields. The brewery is run as a social enterprise and employs people with disadvantages.

The modern brick building is worth a look in itself. The staircase is hidden inside a brick "chimney" that links the individual floors with the rooftop viewing terrace. From there you can see Kroměříž and, in the distance, the Hostýn Hills. You can also sit in the courtyard or upstairs by the brewhouse.

Tours and tastings

A group tour takes about 90 minutes: you walk through the whole brewery, learn how beer is brewed and from what, and finish with a guided tasting of the beers currently on offer. Tours are for a maximum of 15 people and must be booked in advance by phone.
