A Pilsner-style pale lager brewed using the traditional decoction method and the finest Moravian malts. Its pronounced yet smooth bitterness comes from three separate hop additions. Traditional fermentation followed by extended maturation gives the beer its well-rounded character and exceptional drinkability.
This beer is brewed in memory of Peter Šperka, known to those close to him as “Ujec”.
We remember the mountains and honour those who climbed them. Courage, determination and a good heart: qualities that defined Ujec, Peter Šperka (29 October 1955 – 23 June 2013). A Slovak high-altitude mountaineer, ski mountaineer, Tatra mountain guide, member of the Mountain Rescue Service and organiser of ski mountaineering and mountain rescue races.
He summited three eight-thousanders: Shishapangma (1996), Manaslu (1997) and Cho Oyu (2009). His life came to an end in the mountains he loved, but not because of the mountains themselves. Along with Anton Dobeš and other members of a Ukrainian-Georgian expedition, he was killed in a terrorist attack near Nanga Parbat.
