There is a golden stream quietly circulating in the veins of the misty Czech beer halls, where warm laughter mingles with the resounding sound of clinking glasses. It is not simply a drink, but the heartbeat, the breath of a cultural region, a living witness to stories whispered through generations.

People call it by the name of a legendary king – Gambrinus, “king of beer”. That golden beer does not need to be flaunted, because its position has been determined by the love of an entire nation that drinks beer like drinking from a cool spring. Every drop Gambrinus Original 10° Pure is a sweet tale of Bohemia, where the art of brewing was elevated to a national treasure and simplicity was worth its weight in gold.

1. Golden Stream: The Journey of a Beer Legend

Listen as I tell you a story, a story brewed in oak cellars where the hops mingle with the intoxicating yeast of history. This is the journey of Gambrinus, a proud golden stream originating from the heart of the magical land of Bohemia.

It all started with one town of Plzeň dream in the year 1842, When Bürgerbrauerei brewery – the soul of beer-loving citizens – was born. In the very first year, under the talented hands of braumeister Josef Groll, a miracle happened: the world’s first batch of Pilsner beer cried out, laying the foundation for a glorious dynasty. But that was just the beginning…

The fateful turning point came in the year 1893, when the name is full of authority Gambrinus was officially engraved in history, as a promise of a royal beer. And then, in 1913, a new temple dedicated to this beer king was built right next to its brother Pilsner Urquell – Gambrinus Brewery. This place became the cradle to nurture and radiate its own unique, unmistakable flavor.

The flow of history is never calm. Through ups and downs, from the days of being nationalized in 1946 From its dramatic resurgence with privatisation in 1992, to its journey into globalisation with major conglomerates such as SABMiller and now Asahi Breweries, Gambrinus’ spirit remains intact, resilient and strong. Each transformation has deepened the story, like a drop of concentrated beer full of essence.

And who is Gambrinus? He is not a real king, but a living legend woven from joy and overflowing glasses of beer. King Gambrinus, the patron saint of beer, is the embodiment of joy, goodwill and festivity. His image, cup in hand, foot on a wooden barrel, is a seductive invitation to a world of generosity and laughter. The brand that bears his name is a prayer, a tribute to the art of enjoying beer.

And then, from that sacred cradle, Gambrinus Original 10° was born. Since the years 1869, this beer was nurtured, and when the brewery officially opened in 1913, it was ready to become the perfect embodiment of the Gambrinus spirit: young, strong and approachable. Each golden drop is the crystallization of a heroic historical context, a fairy-tale legend and a love for the purest beer. It is not simply a drink, but a legacy of liquid gold passed down through generations.

2. A Melody of the Senses: Savoring a Golden Stream

Close your eyes and imagine… You're not just about to take a sip of beer, you're about to enter a perfectly orchestrated dance of senses where Czech style Pale Lager (Světlý Ležák) plays its unmistakable signature tune.

But that doesn't mean this golden muse doesn't have some glorious early days. Let's go back in time. 1895, When Gold Award at the Brewery Industry Exhibition in Prague has shone brightly.

But, I want to tell you about the greatest award, the award is not engraved on metal but is engraved in the pulse of daily life. It is the title “Nejprodávanější pivo v ČR” – “The best-selling beer in the Czech Republic”. Trong chính ngôi nhà của bia lagers, nơi khẩu vị được xem là khó tính và đòi hỏi bậc nhất thế giới, việc được chọn lựa, được yêu thích và được nâng niu trong mỗi quán bia, mỗi bữa ăn gia đình, mỗi cuộc gặp gỡ bạn bè… mới chính là bằng chứng sống động về sự vĩ đại đích thực.

It is an invisible gold medal awarded by the children of Bohemia themselves – and that is a recognition worth more than anything.
