MEDVEDGRAD BREWERY LTD. ... Huzjanova 36, 10 090 Zagreb https://pivovara-medvedgrad.hr/en/home/ 

Deze brouwerij heb ik trouwens niet bezocht, en het is niet eens een Tsjechische brouwerij!?  Het is een familiebrouwerij en ze hebben meerdere bieren:

The family that runs Pivovara Medvedgrad had already had four sons by the time its operation began in 1994, so the first idea was to name the brewery Četiri dečka (“Four Jacks”) and in that case the first beers would have been named Tref, Herc, Karo, and Pik (Club, Heart, Diamond, and Spade). Eventually, the brewery’s name was picked according to an old Bavarian tradition of taking the name of the closest medieval fortified town, which in Zagreb’s case is Medvedgrad, overlooking the city from the Medvednica mountain.

Today, the ”four jacks” are the second generation of the family that runs Pivovara Medvedgrad. https://pivovara-medvedgrad.hr/en/about-us/
