The number of mini-breweries is growing rapidly in the Czech Republic

The number of mini-breweries is growing rapidly in the Czech Republic reaching 338 at the end of November. According to the Wednesday statement of the Czech-Moravian Association of the mini-breweries, this year 56 new mini breweries were opened, and in December another four will start production.

In the early nineties, only the Prague-based U Fleku mini brewery was operating that has more than one hundreds years of history. During the past quarter of a century almost four hundred new mini breweries were founded, but 36 of them failed and finished production. (MTI, Kokes János)
