Rodinný Pivovar Zichovec is an independent family craft brewery founded in 2012, located in the Ústí Region of the Czech Republic. The name "Rodinný Pivovar" translates directly to "family brewery," reflecting the close-knit, artisanal character that defines this operation. From its roots in northwestern Bohemia, Zichovec has grown into one of the most respected names in the Czech craft beer scene, attracting attention both domestically and across European export markets. Zichovec's portfolio leans firmly into the modern craft beer movement, offering a wide range of styles that go well beyond the traditional Czech lager. The brewery is known for producing hop-forward beers, including hazy and juicy India Pale Ales, as well as barrel-aged specialties — a notable departure from Czech brewing convention. This willingness to experiment with fermentation techniques and international styles, while maintaining a strong sense of craftsmanship, is what sets Zichovec apart from many of its regional peers. The brewery has built a strong international reputation, with its beers distributed across Europe through specialist importers. Zichovec beers can be found in Dutch specialty retailers such as Burg Bieren, and the brewery has been featured on craft beer platforms including BeerTasting and DrinkOnline, cementing its status as a top-tier Czech craft brewery worth seeking out.
