This lager was brewed in 2011 to honour Czech pilot Josef Frantisek.
Following repeated reprimands for lack of discipline, allied airman Sgt Frantisek was banned from flying in formation during the Battle of Britain and was instead allowed to mount his own lone missions against the Luftwaffe - which met with spectacular success. The Lone Wolf, as he was nicknamed, was credited with shooting 17 German aircraft in one month making him one of the campaign’s top scoring pilots.
He died in 1940 after crashing into a runway during a landing approach shortly after receiving the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC).
