Petr Hauskrecht Steam Brewery

The brewery is the project of the experienced brewmaster Petr Hauskrecht and his friends. Since 2014, it has been brewing beer in a fascinating exposed-brick building located within the former municipal abattoir complex, dating back to the late 19th century. 

The Brno Brewing Company was founded by three friends brought together by their passion for extraordinary beer. They quickly agreed that such a beer should be brewed by an extraordinary brewmaster in an extraordinary brewery. Their desire for such a venture was further fuelled by the wave of small craft breweries that had recently swept across the ocean into old Europe. After several years of searching for a suitable industrial space – one where the innovative spirit of traditional Czech brewing could truly thrive – they chose a somewhat mysterious building on Porážka street, part of the former Brno abattoir complex built in 1899.

Although the brewery does not have its own restaurant, beer can be purchased on-site on weekdays at the Brewhouse Shop. Visitors can also take a guided brewery tour, which concludes with a tasting session in the brewery’s traditional šalanda (a brewers' lounge). Additionally, the brewery has its own small hop garden nearby.
