Zlatý Bažant (Golden Pheasant) is the most exported Slovak beer brand.

[5][6] Zlatý Bažant gets its name from the surrounding area of Hurbanovo which is a small town located Southeast of Slovakia's capital.

Bratislava had a large amount of pheasants during the 1970s that were gold in color which inspired the name.

In 1971, Zlatý Bažant began to be sold in cans which was the first-ever beer in Czechoslovakia and Eastern Europe to be produced in such a way.

On April 1, 2011, Radler Pheasant, a beer-based drink with lemonade, was launched in both non-alcoholic and alcoholic options.
