Also the Strahov place for some Bernard, though I found the beer a bit too "smokey". The Klasterni Senk was completely booked on friday, but we went back on sunday and had the best dinner of all! Svijanský Rytíř we have found it, but it was closed on sunday (too bad). I would also like to mention the very nice "Sklep Restaurant", where we had a few good meals or beers with snacks in the evening. Chicken wings are to die for, as are the Balkan Potatoes with cheese! Thanx a lot for this guide, it has surely helped us to some nice places we would have missed out on.timtimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07942434179311575405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042627331437123482.post-35084705414739203802009-03-10T13:40:00.000+01:002009-03-10T13:40:00.000+01:00I am working on a travel website with Mediamatic.n...I am working on a travel website with Mediamatic.net in Amsterdam.

I noticed it when I was in Prague and during my stay in one of <A HREF="http://www.prague-hotels.org.uk/" REL="nofollow">Prague hotels</A>, went out every day and was drinking beer every day. It is produced according to Czech methods worldwide and its quality is respected everywhere. No wonder that the Czech Republic has the highest consumption of beer per citizen on an international level. The most expensive <A HREF="http://www.radio.cz/en/article/46095" REL="nofollow">Czech beer</A> I had during our visit was 50 crowns (about one pound sterling and that was at the opera). Unsurprisingly you may find more than 800 Pubs in Prague to choose from and a few of them existing since centuries. No other item do Czechs take more pride in and tasting a beer in Prague is a must.Erickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17625242814447234079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042627331437123482.post-31993427166902174652008-02-11T12:21:00.000+01:002008-02-11T12:21:00.000+01:00Jd,I hope you will enjoy your trip here.As for the...Jd,<BR/>I hope you will enjoy your trip here.<BR/>As for the hops question. The price of beer has increased a bit, but not too much. As for flavour, I haven't noticed much of a change to be honest, though some people have told me that bottled Pilsner Urquell tastes different now than a bit ago, but since I don't buy it to drink home, I couldn't tell.<BR/>I dont know what is the situation of the homebrewers. It is relatively recent thing here, there isnt much information about them.<BR/>Maybe some reader who is more involved in the industry or home brewing will be able to give a more first hand question.Pivní Filosofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883511608403454943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042627331437123482.post-26331863980627703372008-02-10T20:05:00.000+01:002008-02-10T20:05:00.000+01:00Hola Max,Excellent info for my trip to Czech next ...Hola Max,<BR/>Excellent info for my trip to Czech next month. So are you seeing any effect of the shortage of hops in the beers there in Praha? Taste or cost-wise? Here in the States, we're getting hit pretty hard, especially for us homebrewers that brew on a larger scale.<BR/>-jdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042627331437123482.post-48116324971132064592008-01-21T16:34:00.000+01:002008-01-21T16:34:00.000+01:00I now know where Rychta is, in fact, the other day...I now know where Rychta is, in fact, the other day I turned left a few metres from it. I will go there, I have promised it to myself.<BR/>Pivovar Bašta is definetively worth going, the beers are really good, and so are the snacks, but I don't think is very tourist friendly. <BR/>It can be that the beers don't travel too well, but I would bet more on the people that take them there being the reason, specially if we are talking about supermarkets.<BR/>Beer is, unfortunately, not taken as serious as wine. It is just handled and stored as any other product withouth any considerations of the effect that light or heat have on it.Pivní Filosofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883511608403454943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042627331437123482.post-36927126741408677242008-01-20T14:35:00.000+01:002008-01-20T14:35:00.000+01:00Barnacha Rychta is located in Triezte.

I was there some years ago, buy unfortunately it was closed (10.00 am).<BR/><BR/>When it comes to Czech beer, I must admit I have only tried the beer from the big five + the microbreweries in Prague. U Bastu is it really worth a visit? <BR/><BR/>Anyway I love Czech beer in traditional hospoda. The imported stuff I can buy in the shops here in Norway, isn't that good. Perhaps it does not travell well? It is far better than Norwegian beer though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042627331437123482.post-15974968346168785732008-01-19T20:24:00.000+01:002008-01-19T20:24:00.000+01:00I will have to go then!!!I must have walked right ...I will have to go then!!!<BR/>I must have walked right past it the other day when I was looking for it, and didn't notice.<BR/>I promise to check it out soon.<BR/>thanks for the tip...Pivní Filosofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883511608403454943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042627331437123482.post-48665383333661922772008-01-19T18:55:00.000+01:002008-01-19T18:55:00.000+01:00Ha!
