Pivovar Protivín

Pivovar Protivín, a.s. brews Platan beer in Protivín, South Bohemia, using water from its own wells, Czech malt and hops, and a traditional two-decoction method. The beer ferments in open vessels and is lagered in cellars. The company also sells a sugar-free hop-flavoured water, announced on its website in 2026.
