A large army of fans has long established the fact that the head never hurts from beer from Czech producers.

The Czechs opened the first brewery in 1087. And now, for almost a thousand years, this drink has been the personification of a calm and measured life in great abundance. Saint Wenceslas is considered the patron saint of brewers, it was he who was addressed with prayer and blessing when opening a new variety or production. The 13th-15th centuries were the most difficult in the history of national brewing. It was so popular that a political decision was made at the state level: the factories should be at least a mile apart from each other. Violation of this decree was quickly punished, and inept brewers were severely punished. Manufacturers regularly tasted the products of competitors, and if the drink did not satisfy their partial taste, it was spilled on the square, and its “author” was beaten with rods. Over the past centuries, beer has not ceased to be a symbol of the country, in the capital there are bars and restaurants on every corner. Their number is so great that a guide to the most famous pubs in Prague will not interfere not only with an inexperienced person, but also with an experienced traveler.

The history of brewing in the Czech Republic spans almost 10 centuries, so beer is part of the national heritage. When you visit Prague, you will be surprised by the fact that beer is often cheaper than regular mineral water. Perhaps the reason for this is the fact that the Czechs are the world leaders in beer consumption per person. And, of course, the number of pubs, taverns and bars in Prague is countless.

Earlier in the article:"" we have already mentioned the popular establishments of the Czech capital where you can drink beer. Now we will dwell on this important issue in more detail)

It is worth noting separately the features of Czech beer. Hundreds of small breweries and huge factories operate throughout the Czech Republic, but almost all of them owe their technology to the brand Pilsner, the largest exporter of Czech beer in the world. Now the word Pilsner has become virtually a household word and means all filtered beer.

Photo: Pilsner Urquell is the most famous Czech beer brand.

Beer is usually served in Prague in two different portions: male pivo - glasses up to a third of a liter, and velké pivo - half a liter, the most popular portion. For especially big fans, some restaurants offer portions up to one and a half liters, which are called tuplak, such portions are offered by beer restaurants U Medvidku, U Vejvodu, U Sedmi Svabu and other taverns.

The most common type of beer is dark filtered, which in turn is divided into two levels: 10% beer contains less alcohol and usually has a more subtle taste, and 12% beer, which is a classic in the Czech Republic. In the Czech Republic, beer consumption is not complete without a free meal that comes with the drink. Any self-respecting bar will definitely offer you a snack of your choice, without demanding money for it.
