PILSNER URQUELL BREWERY

Each country has its icons and legends. In the Czech Republic, the beer Pilsner Urquell is part of it. Brassée since 1842 in the town of Plzeň (Pilsen), its world reputation is no longer to be done. It is also unthinkable to visit the country without going through a Czech pub and tasting it. And if you stay a few days in Prague, take the detour to this small town 1 hour from the capital to visit the brewery is a great getaway. The visit includes a presentation of the history of this beer, which gave birth to the "pils", a type of low fermentation crystal, which is now the most widespread in the world. You will also have the opportunity to discover the ingredients used in the manufacture of beer and the heart of the brewery. You can also follow the manufacture of their modern packaging. Finally, a welcome tasting of the Pilsner Urquell beer directly from barrels is the programme!

To complete the visit or if you lack time to make this getaway, a Experience Shop is also open in Prague, in the Malá Strana area, in the immediate vicinity of the Pont-Charles. At the time of the closure (November 2013), it was likely to move from March 2014. So go to the Pilsner Urquell Gallery website to ensure the address before you go there.
