The Augustinian Monks first started producing St. Thomas beer in 1352 in the monastery after being granted brewing rights by Charles IV. The monks immediately constructed their brewery and began producing dark, non-filtered, and non-pasteurized beer. The original recipe also included some herbs.
In 16th century Augustinian brewery became famous St. Thomas brewery, later it was appointed as an exclusive beer supplier for Prague Castle. It was said "When Czech kings were at Prague Castle, they would only drink St. Thomas beer!"
Brewing St. Thomas beer became a tradition that lasted for almost 6 centuries.
