Ceský Krumlov was granted a charter to brew beer and in 1560, a new town brewery was built to supply demand. In 1622 the Eggenberg family gained control of Krumlov and between 1625 & 1630, they relocated the brewery to where it is today. The next ruling family, the Schwarzenbergs, baroqued the building from 1719 and in 1882, the first steam equipment was installed. Pivovar Eggenberg hosts guided tours and beer tasting of their light and dark lagers, and do experiment with the yesty and unfiltered beer. Tours at 11:00 only. Admission 100Kč, with two beers 130Kč, with all you can eat and drink 480Kč. There is a pivnice on the premises in what was the ice store of old where today you can enjoy Czech food (open 11:00 - 22:00) and of course Eggenberg beer.
