The unfiltered lager will be available on the Day of Kozel as well as in all "Kozlovnas" and selected pubs for the duration of one month. The traditional Day of Kozel festival in Velke Popovice will surprise its guests with several attractions. One of them is going to be a beer speciality: unfiltered lager. As with all years prior, Popovice brewers prepared a unique beer delicacy. This year, the vote fell on an unfiltered lager that is remarkable for its full taste and subtle bite. As a reward to all fans of Kozel beer, this brew will be available outside of the festival in all "Kozlovnas" (company pubs) and in 200 other restaurants around the Czech Republic for the duration of one month. "The unfiltered lager from Kozel is typical for its higher level of brewer's yeast and other natural materials that give beer a fuller taste." said Vojtech Homolka, marketing brewer of Velkopopovicky Kozel . The beer is distributed directly from the lager tanks, without any other manipulation, and therefore it requires extraordinary care from master bartenders. The tapping of the unfiltered lager will take place on the Day of Kozel, on June 8 at 11:00 am. Come reward yourselves for all your hard work with a frosty glass of unfiltered Kozel! For those who cannot get to Popovice, the unfiltered lager will be available in all "Kozlovnas" and selected pubs until stock runs out.
