Family Brewery Bernard is one of the Czech Republic's most storied independent breweries, founded in 1597 in the town of Humpolec. With a history stretching back more than four centuries, the brewery has weathered countless changes in brewing traditions and ownership structures, ultimately surviving as a proudly family-run operation. Its deep roots in the Bohemian brewing heritage make it a respected name not only within the Czech Republic but also among beer enthusiasts across Europe and beyond. The brewery maintains a diverse portfolio of 16 beer varieties, ranging from traditional Czech lagers to top-fermented styles. Bernard is particularly recognized for its unfiltered beer, which has become the most celebrated offering in its portfolio and a true signature of the brand. The brewery places a strong emphasis on quality and the preservation of traditional Czech brewing methods, resulting in beers that reflect the character and craftsmanship of Bohemian brewing culture. Beyond the brew itself, Bernard has cultivated a distinct identity through its taproom and pub experiences. The Bernard beerhouse concept draws inspiration from the industrial character of the brewery, combining unique atmosphere with a broad selection of beers — including fruit beers and gluten-free options. The brewery's beers are exported internationally, with Bernard establishing a presence in markets such as Australia through dedicated importers.
