Microbreweries in the South Moravian Region

Anotace: The study is a probe into the structure of microbreweries in the South Moravian Region (JMK). The first mini-breweries in southern Moravia started a quarter century ago. At the end of the research in January 2018 there were 50 functional microbreweries in JMK. The article summarizes the size and ownership structure, location in the region, the motivation of some owners, etc. The number of operations compares with the situation in distant history, where the vast majority of operations in the region were the size of “mini-breweries”, ie with a capacity of up to 10,000 hl of the annual exhibition.
