At the moment, the manufacturer produces several types of beer, including non-alcoholic ones. But, of course, the most popular beer is Golden Bazant, a light wheat beer. It is available in bottles of 0,5 and 0,33 ml, as well as in half-liter jars.

Beer “Golden Bazant” is recommended to be cooled to 10 – 12 degrees. This helps the taste and aroma of the beer to open up as much as possible.

Short story

The history of the “golden pheasant” begins in 1969 in the small town of Gurbanovo. It was here that the Slovak brewery first began its work, built on the basis of a malt production founded two years earlier. The novelty quickly gained popularity in what was then Czechoslovakia. And already during the first ten years, Zlaty Bazant beer began to be actively exported to 12 countries of the world.

1971 was marked by some technological introductions. The first line in the state for bottling beer into cans was launched. Since 1995, the brewery has received a new round of its development: the company was bought by the Dutch corporation Heineken and immediately invested huge financial resources in the modernization and renewal of production. Much attention was also paid to marketing. This significantly strengthened the position of the Golden Bazant brand in the world market.

The result of such a stormy activity was not long in coming. The modernization was followed by a significant increase in beer sales. In the domestic market, it doubled.
