In 1948 a young, educated entrepreneur named Jaroslav Foukal was forced from his home in Czechoslovakia, fleeing for his survival as Communism swept the country. Landing in Montreal with little more than a suitcase, resiliency and personal fortitude, he began the long journey of building a successful life. Fast-forward two generations and his grandson, Antoine Foukal, is now our Head Brewer. Thank you Jaroslav!

Svec (Shoemaker) is our interpretation of the Czech answer to Anton Dreher’s famous amber hued Austrian lagers. This Polotmavy Lezak, which translates to ‘half dark’, balances malty notes of toffee, brittle and dark raisin bread with the unique spicy character of Saaz hops. Strikingly bold yet elegant and refined, it’s the beer described by J Peterman as “the perfect vehicle for striding along the cobblestone chicanes of Prague’s shoe disctrict.. Sturdy, handsome, luxurious.”
