Ostravar Brewery

Ostravar Brewery (Czech: Pivovar Ostravar) is a Czech brewery located in the city of Ostrava. Ostravar was founded in 1897 as a joint stock company in Moravská Ostrava,[1] and the first beer here was brewed in 1898. In 1997 the brewery was acquired by Bass,[2] after a merger with the company Pražské pivovary a.s, which also brews Staropramen.[3] It is one of the few Czech breweries which produces a dry stout, branded Kelt.[4]

Ostravar beers

For most of its history the beer was only sold locally around Ostrava and the Moravian-Silesian region. In 2016 the brewery opened its first restaurant, called Ostravarna,[5] and started an initiative to start selling the beer in other parts of the Czech Republic.[1]
