1/🧵 As my dear readers know, I enjoy my beer well-deserved and spiced by a hint of a story alongside the vast palette of flavors I try to detect, describe, and share with you. This #beersaturday entry differs from what you’re used to, though.

2/🧵 I visited two breweries at once, and Heineken is to blame. One of them, sadly, is just a shade of its past, although the brand still exists — on paper. The building I visited is the original brewery of Louny, a small town in the Žatec region, the homeland of the Saaz hop variety, which is vital for any proper Bohemian lager.
3/🧵 It survived the turbulent 20th century, only to be ultimately acquired and shuttered by Heineken. As we all know here in #beersaturday, Heineken produces mediocre industrial beer. When Heineken ceased production of Louny beer, two new microbreweries emerged.
4/🧵 Only one has survived to this day, and I’m happy to share my impressions of its brews. Read more in my post: https://inleo.io/@godfish/the-breweries-of-louny-fcf
