On the premises of the national enterprise, the foursome of hockey champions used their own hands to contribute to more than just fans being able to enjoy Golden Beer in autumn, which is prepared from the finest ingredients – Saaz hops, Moravian malt, special yeast cultures and water from the enterprises very own 300 metre deep artesian wells.

First of all, the hockey players received a gift from the Director General of Budějovický Budvar n.p. Jiří Bočka, then they measured the precise dose of hops for the special golden brew according to the instructions of brewer Adam Brož. So they swung axes around instead of hockey sticks. “It was not a completely unknown activity to me. My grandfather was the head of the filling room, so our family had close relations to beer. Thus I did not go into the unknown. I knew it was not going to be easy,” said goalie Tomáš Vokoun, who then had to weigh bags of hops and drag them to the trolley with his colleagues.

Then in the brewing room, the guys had to put the prepared hops into tanks and commence brewing the special edition beer, Golden Beer. “The brew is specially marked and registered. Thus Golden Beer will not be mistakable,” said Adam Brož.

Native South Bohemian Jiří Novotný, stirred the greatest commotion. “I learnt how to cook and gained work experience in the brewery years ago. I recognised some of the employees along the tour. As a South Bohemian, I like Budvar, and it is great to be able to visit the brewery and have the chance to make our own brew with co-players,” relished Novotný in the interview with journalists.
