Enjoy the Kozel brewery tour Velke Popovice and the home of the (billy goat) beer. This is situated just a short 40 minute drive south of Prague. Beer has been brewed in Velké Popovice since the 14th century. But in the 19th century the baron František Ringhoffer restored the old buildings and built a new brewery. The name (Kozel) translated means billy goat. The connection goes back to 1874 when a French painter was so impressed with the creamy delicious taste of the beer and the warm hospitality in the village that he presented as a gift a painting of a Kozel (billy goat). So that became the symbol of the brewery and the beer.
The day starts with pickup with your own private driver and vehicle to transport you in comfort to the brewery. When you arrive there will be a guide waiting for you (the guided tour part will be mixed with other people, not a private tour). The tour is in Czech language but you will be given a written guide sheet in your language to follow as the tour progresses. You will visit the visitor centre, historical courtyard, brew house with exhibition, a video screening, storage cellar, packaging halls and the famous mascot (Olda the goat). To finish the tour you will taste the pure unfiltered unpasteurized creamy Kozel beer on tap. After the tour you will have a chance to browse around the souvenir shop for about 30 minutes. Then your private driver will take you back to Prague and will drop you back at your accommodation.
