Prague brewery
U Tří růží

The brewery and restaurant U Tří růží in Prague is situated in the historical center on Husova street close to the famous Charles Bridge and Old Town Square. Right after your entering the feeling of the unique atmosphere of an Old-Prague brewery will overcome you. The feeling is intensified by wall-paintings by artists Jiří Bernard and Pavel Jakl who drew and painted pictures about the history of brewing in the Czech lands as the rich history of the house (the brewery U Tří růží).
You may notice brew-houses on the ground floor where under the leadership of our experienced brew master Robert Maňák you have the chance to try 6 different beers.

The combination of our best method standards, highest quality ingredients and the traditional craftsmanship of brewing in Czech lands allowed the brewery U Tří růží to gain the status of a monastic brewery of the Dominican Order which is located not far from the building. Thanks to this we have picked up the threads of a very old brewing tradition which began in the 15th century.The house itself has a very interesting history. In the year 1405 an important brew master Benešgained for the house the right to brew beer and started one of the oldest chapters of brewing in the Czech lands. In later history we can find that Václav Matěj Kramerius moved his publishing house Česká Expedice here and remained till the year 1804. You may notice a plaque in the house's frontage.

brewery

In our brewery U Tří růží a wide variety of beers (top and bottom-fermented) are brewed by our experienced brewer Robert Maňák.

Our brewery products 1200-1500 hectoliters per year. Thanks to our offered tour provided with a expert commentary our guest get to see the production and brewing of our beer with their own eyes.

malt house

Brewing beer has to start with the malt. Malt is made in the malt house by germinating grain. After this procedure the grain is dried, scraped and the whole mixture is put into the mash tun/kettle.

kettle

The kettle is the metaphorical heart of the brewery. In the first faze the malt is mixed with water at the temperature of 35 degrees Celsius and slowly heated.

mash tun

A part of this solution (called mashout) is pumped over into the bottom part of the mash tun (an insulated brewing vessel with a false bottom) where the heating starts at a constant temperature of 63 to 73 degrees Celsius so the enzymes are deactivated.
Next the whole brew is pumped over into a "lauter tun" where the grains are separated from the sweet wort (called lautering). Then the sweet wort is pumped into another vessel where it is boiled for about an hour at the temperature of 100 degrees Celsius. After adding hops we get hop wort...

heat exchanger

Which then travels into a heat exchanger, where it's cooled to a temprature when yeast can be added safly, (10 degrees) after that the hop wort is pumped into fermentation tanks.
Here the main fermenting process comes to order. Brewing yeast is added into opened tanks and it lets the beer ferment for 8-12 days at 7-10 degrees. Draft beers lie in the fermentation tanks for about 10 days, lager 12 days. The main part of alcohol is created during this process.

cellar

After that the beer goes into the cellar where in different fermentation tanks it ferments for another 40 days at 1 to 3 degrees.
