Beer at Červený Jelen: When Craft Becomes an Experience

In the Czech Republic, beer is more than just a drink – it’s a part of our culture, social life, and national identity. That’s why at Červený Jelen, we’ve given it the space and attention it deserves. Here, beer becomes an experience – from top-tier technology and precise pouring to the personal touch of our bartenders.

The Tank Tower: A Global Rarity

At first glance into the restaurant, you’ll notice the impressive beer tank tower – twelve stainless steel tanks, each holding 500 liters, arranged in an iconic structure. This setup is absolutely unique. While most places hide their tanks in basements and storage rooms, we proudly put ours on display.

But it’s not just about design – the real innovation lies in the sophisticated pressure system, which allows us to pour from the same tank at up to four different bars simultaneously. Two at the Bank, one in the Vault, and one in the Clubhouse – all serving beer at the highest level of quality and freshness.

The Art of Pouring: Beer Is Not a Given

At Červený Jelen, we believe pouring beer is a skill – it’s not just about turning a tap. That’s why our bartenders undergo regular training and attend specialized beer-pouring schools, where they learn to perfectly serve hladinka, šnyt, mlíko, or čepice. Each style has its own magic and creates a different experience. Guests don’t just get a glass of beer – they witness true beer craftsmanship.

Míra, the Master Bartender

The face and heart of our beer is Míra, our master bartender. His expertise, passion, and daily care make all the difference between ordinary pouring and true mastery. Míra oversees not only the serving but also ensures that all technology works flawlessly. He monitors the cleanliness of beer lines, temperature, pressure, and every tiny detail that influences taste. Thanks to his work, every guest receives beer the way it should be – with creamy foam, a crisp freshness, and a memorable character.

Technology That Guarantees Freshness

The entire system is designed to ensure the beer never loses its quality. The tanks are hermetically sealed, keeping the beer from coming into contact with air, preventing oxidation. We use overpressure with pure air to push the beer directly from the tank to the tap without compromising taste. Every step – from delivery to pouring – is carefully monitored and documented. For the guest, this means one thing: a glass of beer that tastes exactly as the brewmaster intended.

More Than a Drink: A Social Ritual

Pouring beer at Červený Jelen isn’t just service – it’s a ritual. Hladinka pairs beautifully with food, šnyt is perfect for a quick pint, mlíko delights with its smoothness, and čepice is a playful option for those who want to try something different. Guests often let our bartenders guide them – instead of ordering “just a beer,” they choose the pouring style that fits their mood and taste.

Beer and Gastronomy Hand in Hand

Here, beer doesn’t just accompany food – it complements it. Just like carefully curated wines, beer at Červený Jelen has its rightful place on the menu. In combination with dishes by chef Marek Fichtner, it gains a whole new dimension. Duck with cabbage, broth, or fluffy sweet buns all taste completely different when paired with a perfectly poured hladinka instead of wine. It’s this diversity that makes beer the perfect companion for our weekend lunches and daily gatherings alike.

An Experience Like No Other

Červený Jelen isn’t just another restaurant with tank beer. It’s a place where beer becomes part of the architecture, design, and overall atmosphere. The Tank Tower stands as a visual icon, Míra the master bartender guarantees quality, and every guest gets to explore new faces of beer. Whether you come for lunch, an evening drink, or a company event, beer here always takes center stage.
