In earlier days, only citizens in the Czech lands had the right to brew beer and that for their own consumption so most citizens had a microbrewery in their home.

In the 13th century, King Wenceslas convinced the Pope to revoke an order banning the brewing of beer, which may explain why he&s called Good King Wenceslas.
