Czechvar Appoints Global Beer Network as New U.S. Importer

Renowned Czech Lager to Expand Availability Through Strategic Partnership

[Middleton,MA] — [2/17/26] — Czechvar Brewery, the iconic state-owned brewery of the Czech Republic and one of the world's most respected producers of traditional Czech lager, announced today that Global Beer Network (GBN) will become its official importer effective immediately.

Through this new partnership, Global Beer Network will oversee the importation, sales, and distribution of Czechvar beer, strengthening the brand's presence and availability across the United States. Known for its uncompromising quality, Saaz hops, Moravian malt, and centuries-old brewing traditions, Czechvar remains a benchmark for authentic Czech lager.

"Global Beer Network has a reputation for representing some of the world's most coveted authentic and heritage-driven beer brands," said Jitka Vlcková - Regional Director - West. "Their commitment to education, quality, and long-term brand building makes them an ideal partner to help share Czechvar with beer lovers across the U.S."

Founded in 1996, Global Beer Network specializes in importing and building premium international beer brands, with a focus on traditional brewing methods and cultural authenticity. The addition of Czechvar further strengthens GBN's portfolio of iconic European breweries.

"We are honored to have Czechvar join the GBN portfolio" said Daniel Leeman, EVP of Sales and Marketing at Global Beer Network. "Czechvar represents the very soul of Czech brewing, and we are excited to expand its reach while preserving the integrity and heritage that makes it so special. Our customers can expect renewed marketing efforts focused on proper service and Czech beer culture and an exciting new product launch in the coming months."

About Czechvar Brewery Czechvar is brewed in Ceské Budejovice (Budweis), Czech Republic, using traditional methods and ingredients protected by Czech law. As the national brewery of the Czech Republic, Czechvar embodies centuries of brewing excellence and authentic Czech lager tradition.

About Global Beer Network Global Beer Network is a leading importer of specialty and craft beers from around the world, dedicated to bringing authentic, high-quality international beers to the U.S. market while supporting the heritage and identity of each brewery it represents.
