This summer, the winner of the beer Oscar, Master 15° Gold, will be served from barrels for the first time

Master 15° Gold was launched on the Czech market in 2010. By February 2011, it had already distinguished itself by receiving a gold medal from the prestigious beer tasting competition, Brewing Industry International Awards 2011, also called „Oscars for beers“.

„We value the win in this competition, and in order to celebrate this success we decided to provide our consumers with a tap alternative of the Master 15° Gold beer in its special summer limited edition,“ says Karel Kraus, Senior Brand Manager of the Master brand.

Masters are special Czech beers brewed from the highest quality ingredients. The Master brand was launched on the marked in 2007, with Master 13° Amber and Master 18° Dark, both available in barrels only. In May 2010, both speciality Master beers were also introduced in bottles, and a newcomer, Master 15° Gold, was launched. It is considered to be one of the bitterest beers on the Czech market.

Master abroad
Plzeňský Prazdroj began to export its Master brand of speciality beers in 2007. In the first four months of this year, it exported 280 hectoliters of all its variations, double the volume exported during the entirety of last year. The Master speciality beers are especially popular in Spain, where demand has been steadily rising since their introduction into that market in 2008. Starting in April of this year, Master is also exported to Slovakia, where it has also been accumulating more and more fans.
