Our brewing has a long tradition, and most manor ownes sought the brewing right :) Once they were granted it, they built a lavish brewery to show off, and we can still use these. Although, this particular building likely used to be stables, and the brewery was where a restaurant is nowadays.

That's pretty cool! It makes sense that they would do that. Like I said, we might have a small number over here that are like that, but the craft brewing boom has only happened in the past two decades or so, so most of the facilities are newer.
Almost all Czech breweries were confiscated after the communist coup in 1948 (well, several declined during the global economic crisis before World War II, and some others during the war), and then merged into large industrial breweries, or often shut down and used as warehouses, or factories.
Se we've also been experiencing craft brewing boom in the past two decades. However, there's centuries of tradition in many places, so the local patriots often revive it.
Ah yeah, that whole communist thing... At least the traditions are still there. Do they have distribution rules over there like they do here? For example, the oldest brewery in the US Yuengling can't ship to certain states, so if I want their beer I have to drive two hours south to get it outside of Michigan.
Nope, we're too small for that :))
