About Zubr
Zubr is a Czech beer from the Přerov brewery, which the Kofola Group entered with its March 2024 acquisition of Pivovary Zubr, formerly Pivovary CZ Group, in which it holds 51%. Zubr Gradus 12 took first place among pale lagers at the Czech Beer 2025 tasting competition, and Kofola says Zubr was the only one of its beer brands to outperform the market that year.
