The idea of brewing **Queenie beer** was born back in 2016 in the mind of the owner of the [Panaczech brewery](https://www.facebook.com/pivovarpanaczech), **Mr. Ondřej Vrkoč**, when he attended the band's concert at the Krkonoše Beer Festival in Vrchlabí.

_"How about we take our and English malts, hops and yeasts, choose the best of what both our countries offer and create a perfect symbiosis for a unique taste experience?"_

Oh, good old England. We have been looking at its distant shores for centuries, and yet we hardly realize how much we actually have in common. We laugh at quite similar things, we make fun of religion, we are close in our music tastes and culture in general, and especially: both our nations are, quite unsurprisingly, considered beer-loving nations. Could that perhaps be an example of the imaginary communicating vessels?

The idea of uniting what makes our beer good with what our fellow beer enthusiasts on the other side of the channel enjoy has **matured over several years**. During this time, the vision of the recipe has been becoming increasingly clear. The core part, based on **the English types of beer**, would be enriched with the **Czech tradition of beer brewing** and **the heart of the music itself**, to make it feel as if the **legendary rhythms** which pulsated across the world stadiums were **bubbling on the tongue**.

Based on discussions with the band, the head brewmaster of **the Panaczech brewery**, **Mr. David Nedoma**, created the recipe for **Queenie beer**, which includes factors from both England and the Czech Republic so as to perfectly capture, figuratively saying, the flavour scene of the English legend's music as performed by our Czech band.

The result thereof is our **ten-degree beer** with Pilsner yeast, Žatec hops, English malts and a royal golden color.

**In short, good old England spiced up with good old Czechia!**

Now also available at our [E-Shop](https://shop.queenie.cz).

**Cheers!**

As the new show [QUEEN RELIVED](https://queenrelived.cz) is getting ready to take place at **O2 arena**, we are also presenting **the new Queenie band‘s logo**.

We approached one of the best graphic designers in the Czech Republic, **Marek Motalík** ([marekmotalik.com](https://marekmotalik.com)), with the request to create us a **unique logo** that the fans could associate with our band.

In order for our logo to have the proper „royal“ spirit, we were looking for references which would be characteristic of our country and which would travel the world with us. We had a lot of ideas and it took us a while to put everything together according to our visions.

We set ourselves the task of bringing together the history of the Czech lands, local myths, culture and national symbols. That‘s why our logo features i.a. the legendary **bird Noh (Roc)** in reference to Alois Jirásek and in particular to the legend of Bruncvík, **the double-tailed Czech lion**, **linden leaves** and **angels** typical of the Czech Baroque. However, it does not lack **the Red Special** or **the legendary mic „stick“** either.

We are thrilled about the logo, **Marek Motalík** is a genius! We hope you will be as happy about it as we are.

_Unfortunately, in view of the government's decision prohibiting all events until further notice, our concerts cannot happen on the original scheduled dates of May 15 and 16, 2020. Moreover, our foreign suppliers cannot deliver their technologies for the rehearsals, without which the show cannot be prepared now. The decision to change the dates of our concerts is therefore the only possible solution. Queen Relived 2020 by Queenie will take place on September 11 and 12, 2020. All previously purchased tickets remain valid for the new dates and do not need to be replaced – the tickets for Friday, May 15, 2020, will now be valid for Friday, September 11, 2020, and the tickets for Saturday, May 16, 2020, will apply for Saturday, September 12, 2020, respectively. The date of our concert on December 21, 2020 remains unchanged._

_We are all upset and sorry about these complications, but we still hope that you will support us and we will enjoy the concerts all together. The Queen Relived team_

Both May dates of our concerts in **O2 arena Prague** are hopelessly **sold out**, so we decided to add a **third term**!

The first appropriate date is in December, so we will repeat **[QUEEN RELIVED](https://www.queenrelived.com/) by Queenie** on December 21, 2020, again in one of the largest European arenas - **O2 arena**.

Tickets will be available from March 3 at 10am in **Ticketmaster and Ticketportal**. Come with us to experience the time in which **Freddie Mercury** captivated the whole world from the concert stages. **We really appreciate** your interest and we are looking forward to everyone! **Thank you!**

This May, **Queenie** had a great honor to accept **Leoš Mareš‘s** invitation to play on the stage of **O2 Arena** as his guests. At each of the three sold out **mega concerts** Queenie made a performance mapping the legendary charity show by **Queen** at **Live AID** in Wembley in 1985.

_“We got a great opportunity to try a super big stage. This was very useful for us, for at that time we had already had our own concerts at O2 Arena in preparation. It was a big commitment, Leoš is awesome and we couldn't afford doing something wrong,”_ says the band unanimously. _“Since Live AID was a charity concert, we decided to donate the fee to the **[Mercury Phoenix Trust](http://www.mercuryphoenixtrust.com/)**. It was founded after Mercury's death by the remaining Queen members and helps to fight HIV/AIDS worldwide,”_ adds the frontman **Michael Kluch**.

However, a big surprise came in December, when the band received a **certificate** of their donation signed by **Brian May** and **Roger Taylor**. “//It made us very happy! We did not expect this at all, we were not even aware that any such certificates were ever granted. We support **[Freddie for a Day](http://www.mercuryphoenixtrust.com/site/whatisffad)** every year, and this time, since we were playing Live AID, there was no doubt about maintaining the charitable nature of the show. We just sent a few crowns and didn't think about it any further//.”

It is not "just another concert" for us. It is a return to our roots and, at the same time, a confirmation of the journey we have taken over these twenty years. Memories of 2008 come back to us, when we had the honour of performing at the then Mercury Montreux Memorial as the historically first tribute band from the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Back then, we were at the beginning, full of determination and dreams. Today, we return as experienced professionals with seven sold-out O2 arenas, tours across Europe, and more than 1,400 concerts under our belts. Yet, as we approach the shores of the lake and see those familiar Alpine peaks, we feel the same flutter in our stomachs as we did back then. It is respect. Respect for the music that connects us all, and for the place where Freddie found his second home.

**The Magic of a Place Where Time Stands Still**

Imagine this: You are standing on the waterfront, the majestic peaks of the Alps towering above you, and before you stretches the calm surface of the lake that once provided peace to the soul of **Freddie Mercury** himself. It was here, in this picturesque corner of the world, that the **Queen** frontman found his sanctuary in the final years of his life. This is where the albums Jazz or Made in Heaven were created in the famous Mountain Studios. And this is where his iconic bronze statue stands with its fist raised to the sky, silently watching over this magical place.

Performing at Freddie Days is specific in its atmosphere. The audience here does not consist of random passers-by, but the most loyal "die-hard" fans from all over the world – from Japan to Brazil to the UK. When we performed here in the past, for example at the **Montreux Jazz Festival** or during previous editions of the **Mercury Montreux Memorial**, we felt that indescribable energy. Playing for such an audience is the hardest, yet most beautiful test. These spectators know every note, every beat of **Roger Taylor's** cymbal, every guitar solo by **Brian May**. And that is exactly why we are going there. Our philosophy of "concert theatre," our insistence on original keys and authentic arrangements, finds its most appreciative audience in Montreux. When **Michael Kluch**, whose vocal abilities and performance were even honoured with a Thalia Award nomination, hits the first notes of **Bohemian Rhapsody** or **The Show Must Go On** in an environment where these songs resonate more strongly than anywhere else in the world, a magical connection is born. It is not playing at being Queen; it is a tribute to Queen in its purest possible form.

**Queenie's Concert Theatre on the World Stage**

Why do we speak of it so poetically? Because performing in Montreux is not just "another tour stop." It is like visiting someone's home. The invitation to **Freddie Days** is, for us, a confirmation that the path we set out on back in 2006 makes sense. We are often asked what the difference is between a concert in the O2 arena and a performance in Montreux. In the O2 arena, we create a monumental show with pyrotechnics and giant screens – it is a celebration of Queen's magnitude. In Montreux, however, it is about intimacy and a spiritual connection. It is a dialogue between us, the audience, and the legacy of **Freddie Mercury**.

To be chosen as the main musical program for such a significant event is a huge success for a Czech band. It is no secret that the organisers in Montreux are extremely demanding when it comes to quality. Because in Montreux, you don't just play for the ears; you play for the heart. And for us, it truly is a matter of the heart, because it is a place where we feel part of something bigger.

**September 4, 2026**

If you are planning a trip to Switzerland, do not miss this event. It is not just a concert. It is a family gathering. A family united by a love for music that changed the world. And if you can't make it to Montreux, follow our social media. We will bring you photos and videos so you can soak up the atmosphere, at least from afar.

We look forward to seeing you, whether beneath the Alps or at any of our other concerts.

Yours, **Queenie**
