Bernard Brewery

Bernard Brewery is a Czech family brewery, founded in 1597.[1] The brewery's brewing process results in a beer which is not pasteurised.[1] It is the biggest brewery in the Vysočina Region.[2] In 2009, the beer was first exported to Peru, adding to its existing international markets of countries including Slovakia, Greece, Russia, Sweden, Norway, the UK, Australia, the US, Japan and Brazil.[3]
