Primátor
The town of Náchod built the brewery in 1872 and sold its first beer in October 1873. The Primátor name comes from a 12° dark beer of 1935. From 1998 the brewery added strong specials, and in 2002 top-fermented beers: a weizen, a stout and an English pale ale. The town sold it to the Liberec fund LIF, which also owns Svijany, in a sale approved in 2008.
