Gold of Prague is a brand of a Korean brewery, that is planning to produce beer in the summer of 2017 in the province of Jeolla in South Korea. According to the recipes and technology of the monastic brewery of St. Adalbert at Břevnov in Prague and under the supervision of Czech brewmasters using Czech ingredients. All technological equipment for beer production will be made in the Czech Republic. The traditional procedures will be respected with no procedural simplifications such as using surrogates, diluting the beer or artificial saturation with carbon dioxide. Light pilsner-type lager with double mash reiteration will be the flagship of the brewery, but more types of beer are yet to be presented.

Tradition
The Břevnov Monastery with its brewery was founded by Saint Adalbert, the second Bishop of Prague, in 992 AD with the support of Duke Boleslav II of Bohemia. The real beer producing expansion dates back to the 13th century, when Pope Innocent IV. ordered the ban to be lifted on brewing due to a bad harvest. During the Hussite Wars in the 1420s the brewery and monastery were almost destroyed and they were rebuilt in the 17th century. The building of the new brewery dates back to 1720, according to all the accessible monastery chronicles. Because there was no brewery cellar or refrigeration, it was not possible to produce the popular lagers and the brewery was closed in 1889. The tradition was renewed in 2013, when the present monastic brewery of St. Adalbert at Břevnov in Prague was built in a former horse stable.

Beer production in Korea
The brewery Gold of Prague in Korean province of Jeolla will mainly produce the light pilsner-type lager using identical procedures and recipes as the original beer Klasická dvanáctka 12° Benedict from the monastic brewery of St. Adalbert at Břevnov in Prague.

The success of the Czech production with traditional recipes among locals and tourists led to the expansion of beer production beyond the borders of Czech Republic. The brewery Gold of Prague that will be producing the namesake beer is to be opened in December 2016. The actual beer will be produced using malt and hops (all ingredients except for the local soft water) from the Czech Republic by experts from the Břevnov monastic brewery.
