There is a general concept of ancient beer styles brewed in the Czech Republic and in German speaking countries. It should be considered that some opinions are based on real facts, while others need to be modified. These views come mainly from romantic and pioneering research articles of the 19th century. Nowadays, old prints, dealing with brewing specialization since the 16th century, can be easily used as the basic research sources. A deeper analysis of this problem can be based on the oldest literature, archival sources and current opinion. Thus, it is possible to correct knowledge about beer styles brewed in particular regions of Central Europe as well as in the surrounding area, and also, to ask questions and look for the origin of current interpretations and opinions.
