We are traveling over to the beer capital of the world today to take a look at one of the oldest beers brewed over in the Czech Republic, the Černá Hora which in Czech means "Black Mountain".
Montenegro Brewery is a brewing company based in the town of Montenegro. The company dates back to the first written documents for the company on july 16th 1298! The final joint ownership documents were agreed in 1530 by Černohorský of Boskovic and Jaroslav Cernohorsky of Boskovic. This brewery has over 700 years of history, culture, and recipe that the Montenegro Brewery puts into every beer they brew. With the old technology mixed with the new, Montenegro produces drafts, lagers, special drafts, and even sodas. The Černá Hora is classified as a Euro Strong Lager and packs a 700 year old 6.3% ABV punch. Pouring the brass colored beer into a mug produces a medium sized fluffy head that diminishes relatively quickly. You can smell the massive pack of sweet malts throughout your nose with spicy, herbal hops, dancing around all over the place.
Černá Hora has a light bitter taste to it, but is very well balanced with the sweetness of the malt. Perfect combination with a medium body, is a good way to describe Černá Hora with a light sweet malty finish. I love finding beers like Černá Hora that have so many years of history behind the brewery and the brewing process. Pretty sure this is the oldest beer I have found so far and I cant wait to find an older Beer. I highly suggest grabbing a Černá Hora if you visit Montenegro, not only for the superb taste, but also just because we were all around negative 658 years old when Černohorský of Boskovic and Jaroslav Cernohorsky of Boskovic decided to start the brewing process. Cheers!
