Prague, Czechia

The Home of Pilsner.

Czechs consume more beer per capita than any other nation in the world. It is the birthplace of Pilsner Urquell, the world's first golden lager. Here, beer is cheaper than water and drinking culture is centered around lively, smoke-filled hospodas.

🍺 The Beer

Pilsner & Dark Lager

Crisp, golden, and foamy. Poured with a thick head of foam ('hladinka') to preserve flavor.
