At Rebel Brewing you will find Czech beer that combines tradition and modernity.
The history of brewing in the small town of Havlíčkův Brod dates back to the 14th century: the town was granted brewing rights at that time and its citizens were allowed to brew beer for their own use. As the town progressed, breweries gradually formed that took over brewing for the town's residents, brewing professionally and on a larger scale. The Czech Rebel Brewery was one of these breweries and was founded in 1834 in the Bukovský Manor. Brewing still takes place in these venerable halls today, but some changes have been made over the years. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the brewery was renovated several times and brought up to date with the latest technology. The Second World War then put a serious damper on the flourishing brewing business, which was not only due to a lack of workers but also to a widespread shortage of raw materials. The current name Rebel goes back to a competition held by Josef Bouda in the 1960s: the brewmaster called on the staff to come up with a name for his wonderful dark beer. He received many ideas, but Rebel won out. The inspiration behind it was the politician, journalist and activist Karel Havlíček Borovský. From being the name for a single beer, Rebel established itself as the name of the brewery and today stands for a whole range of the finest brewing creations.
The responsibility for the good beers from Rebel lies in the hands of an unusual duo: Pavel Pilař and Jana Boráková are the head, heart and hand of the brewery. They come up with the tasty creations and they are also the ones who turn ideas into wonderful beer. Pavel has worked his way through all positions in the course of his 20 years at the brewery. He started at the bottom and did the most arduous work and was promoted until he was allowed to swing the mash paddle in the brewhouse. Today he is head brewer and lets others wash the tanks for him. His right-hand man and senior brewmaster is Jana. She has been with the company since 2017 and comes from Slovakia. Animals are actually her passion, but when she didn't get the university place she wanted, she switched to fermentation technology and does not regret this step. The tough lady has been involved in the Czech beer market since 2009 and is one of the country's experts when it comes to fermentation and brewing.
Together, Pavel and Jana brew beers like the dark temptation Černý , which you can taste here with us!
