ivovar, Kamenice nad Lipou har eget ølbryggeri. The brewery in Kamenice nad Lipou. The beer was produced in Kamenice from 15th century. Townspeople held the brewing right for a long time. The beer production was taken over by nobility at the beginning of 17th century and the first brewery by the castle was founded. The look of today's brewery was created by the extensive reconstruction of Baron Geymüller which took place between 1860 and 1861. The project was megalomaniac and atypical in many cases according to the brewery experts. Building of brewery in Kamenice partly gave an impulse to modernization of the neighbouring competing breweries, so the planned capacity of 20,000 hl was never reached. The brewery successfully survived both World Wars but due to the nationalization and the advent of communist regime was definitively closed on June 30, 1947. Beer connoisseurs, brewery tourists and football fans will surely recall that the first brewing tradition in Kamenice was renewed in 2013 by Mr. Kopacka in his – today legendary – home brewery Kokeš.
Three years later, the dilapidated building of the original brewery was given a chance. The building was purchased by the Brewery Kamenice Ltd. in the spring of 2016 with the intention of restoring the beer brewing. Mr. Milan Houška is the founder of the whole project. He decided to invest capital obtained from a previous business in engineering to save the old brewery and restore the historical appearance of the brewery.
Both a large brewery and a microbrewery produce beer at present. The microbrewery serves for brewer´s experiments and beer workshops. There is also space available for organizing private celebrations, meetings and corporate parties.
On October 28, 2017 we celebrated in Kamenice the founding of the Beer Republic - the larger part of the brewery's operation was opened – the large brewhouse with the size of 30 hectolitres and the maximum production of 15,000 – 20,000 hectolitres. On November
