And not any beer, but a beer inspired by his personality. Just like Hurban was the bearer of innovative ideas, Zlatý Bažant Hurban Legend also brings something innovative and special to the world of lager beers.

Facts about Hurban
Jozef Miloslav Hurban was a very talented and active patriot indeed. He was a prose writer, a cultural, political and religious journalist, a poet, a politician and an leading actor of the Slovak national emancipation movement in the 1830s.
He was born in 1817 in Beckov and died in 1888 in Hlboké. But in the meantime he managed to do quite a bit. Some of you may recall Olejkár (Medicaster), his romantic prose, or Gottšalk, his attempt to write the first Slovak historic novel. Beside these works, he put the newly codified Slovak language standard into practice in his Almanac Nitra. He fonded the magazine Slovenské pohľady, stood at the birth of the national cultural society Tatrín, formulated the Slovak national revolutionary program Žiadosti slovenského národa (Demands of the Slovak Nation) in Liptovský Mikuláš and took part in the revolutionary fights of 1848 and 1849.
He was not afraid of fighting for the Slovak nation and to be a leader of the revolution. It is no wonder that the town Hurbanovo is named after him.

Legenda hovorí, že keď Hurban prvý krát zazrel bujnú bradu Ľudovíta Štúra...
prestal jesť, prestal spať a prestal ženu milovať,
pretože takú mocnú bradu ako legendárny Štúr chcel mať.
Peter H.
Legenda hovorí, že Hurban boj vraj zapálený ornitológ. Údajne raz spozoroval zlatého bažanta, čo tak dávno zbačiť chcel, no miesto neho mu zrak na fľašky so zlatým mokom dopadol. I hneď vedel, čo jeho cieľom jest, smäd svoj uhasiť.
Ján H.
Legenda hovorí, že Hurban sa neraz na cestách prerátal. Raz kvôli tomu zašiel tak ďaleko až nevedel, ako sa vrátiť späť. Otvoril si fľaštičku s pivom a po prvom dúšku vedel, ktorým smerom je domov.
Anna M.
Legenda hovorí, že Hurban vraj ovládal toľko cudzích jazykov, koľko mala Mária Terézia vnúčat. Najradšej mal toto prirovnanie, pretože Mária Terézia mala vnúčat skutočne požehnane.
