Prague, June 1, 2023 – Plzeňský Prazdroj and The Town Brewery Domažlice have teamed up for the second time to bring beer lovers an exceptional experience. Together they present the Wheat Prior special, a supremely fermented unfiltered beer with a light aroma and a fresh flavour with fruity notes. The wheat special has been available for beer enthusiasts to sample in more than 1,000 businesses in the Czech Republic and Slovakia since the beginning of June.

Favourite programme of Plzeňský Prazdroj The choice of brewers follows a successful series of collaborations with small breweries. Together with the Town brewery Domažlice, it will offer a top-fermented special called Wheat Prior in June. It was in Domažlice that Prior saw the light of day for the first time three decades ago. The original recipe for this beer was established in the 1990s, when the Home town brewery was still part of the Prazdroj group. Thanks to former brewer Miroslav Sekor and former brewery director Jaroslav Lstibůrk, the original recipe of the Prior was preserved and the beer was re-brewed. Existing brewers Tomáš Pokorný from Plzeňský Prazdroj and Jana Müller from The Town Brewery Domažlice then tuned the recipe together to match the tastes of today’s beer specials fans.

The top-fermented wheat unfilter is prepared from three types of malt – wheat, pilsner and caramel. For hopping, the brewers used the Vital and Žatecký poloraný červeňák varieties, which give the beer a pleasant bitterness and hop aroma. “Thanks to Mr. Sekor, who was a brewer at the brewery for years, and mr. Lstibůrk, the former director, we were able to take inspiration from the original technological process. After a total fine-tuning of the recipe, we cooked a balanced unfiltered eleven with five percent alcohol, which, even with its fruity tinge, is perfect for summer,” says Domažlická sládková Jana Müller.
