About Holba
Holba is a Czech beer brand made by Pivovary Zubr, the brewing company in which the Kofola Group has held 51% since March 2024 and which also produces Zubr and Litovel. As part of integrating the breweries Kofola rebranded all three beers to revitalise them, and in 2025 its Beers & Ciders segment held Czech revenue at the 2024 level while exports fell.
