At the Kostelec nad Černými lesy brewery, founded in 1842, we are developing the National Brewing Museum on a 4,000 m² area. We showcase brewing technologies from the industrial revolution in the Czech lands of Austria-Hungary, as well as the world's largest preserved functional direct wood-fired brewhouse. The museum collections are registered in the Central Register of Collections, which are unique in their scope not only in the Czech Republic, but in the pan-European context mapping the history of malt and beer production technologies. Our activities focus not only on the preservation of technological units, but also on the functionality of these machines and equipment. As part of the technological process, the museum has almost complete technological equipment from the receipt of barley to the dispatch of beer, which we managed to save over 25 years of hard work. The National Brewing Museum received the National Heritage Institute's PATRIMONIUM PRO FUTURO Award for 2025 - Saving a Monument and the National Heritage Institute's PATRIMONIUM PRO FUTURO Award for 2025 - The Monuments Thank You Public Award. Milan Starec and Tomáš Vodochodský received the 2021 Central Bohemian Region Governor's Award for their activities in the field of saving Czech brewing and mapping brewing history, and the 2020 Czech Brewer F. O. Poupě Award for 2020, which has been announced and awarded annually by the Czech Beer and Malt Association to outstanding professionals in the brewing industry since 2007. With the award, the Association recognizes an extraordinary contribution to Czech brewing, malting and related industries, including science and research.
