Litovel
Czech farmers opened the brewery as a joint-stock company on 12 November 1893, and the wrestler Gustav Frištenský married the daughter of its first brewmaster. Litovel now belongs to Pivovary Zubr, with the Zubr and Holba breweries; since March 2024 the soft-drinks group Kofola ČeskoSlovensko has held 51% of the group’s owner. Its beers run from Moravan, a light pale beer, and Premium lager to Granát, an unfiltered half-dark lager.
