Overview

Safari Brewery (Czech: Safari pivovar, also called pivovar Safari) is a microbrewery and restaurant located at the entrance to the Dvůr Králové Zoo (Safari Park Dvůr Králové) on Štefánikova Street in the town of Dvůr Králové nad Labem, in the Trutnov District of the Hradec Králové Region in the Czech Republic. It takes its name from the local zoo and is closely tied to the zoo's identity and its safari-park theme. The brewery produces its own original beers ranging from 10° to 16° Plato, both top-fermented and bottom-fermented, with alcohol content from about 3.7% to 6.8% by volume. Its recipes combine Czech and African ingredients, a distinctive feature that reflects the safari theme. The brewery has a maximum capacity of about 1,200 hectoliters of beer per year and fills its beer into kegs and PET bottles. The beer is intended primarily for sale within the zoo premises. The brewery was officially opened on 22 September 2018, which is World Rhino Day. Because of this symbolic date, the brewery is also a sponsor of rhino breeding at the Dvůr Králové Zoo. The project linking a specific in-house beer production with the operation of a zoo is described as unique in the Czech Republic; in Europe, only the Belgian zoo Pairi Daiza has its own brewery. Among the so-called ambassadors of the brewery are travelers Miroslav Zigmund, Miroslav Stingl and Jiří Kolbaba, zoo director Přemysl Rabas, and gastronome Igor Mašín. The brewery operates as a small-scale craft producer and hospitality venue rather than a large industrial brewer, and its output is oriented mainly toward visitors to the zoo and the restaurant.
