While planning our recent journey to Prague, Andy and I searched for a few excursions to improve our trip. We search out meals excursions in nearly every metropolis we journey to, and Prague was no exception. We tasted native Czech meals on a Prague meals tour, however we additionally signed up for a beer tour with Viator to learn about craft beer in Prague.
Please note that some posts contain hyperlinks that earn me a small fee at no extra cost to you.
To begin our craft beer tour, our guide, Travis, met us in Wenceslas Square, which has been an important place in Prague’s history. It’s the place many historic occasions began, such because the peaceable protests that eventually led to the downfall of the Soviet’s management over the Czech Republic. (Just ignore the scaffolding on the museum behind the statue.)
After telling us about the square’s history, he took us to 4 of his favourite pubs in Prague. Along the way he told us about the beers we were drinking and a few background about the pubs, and we ate tasty Czech meals at every stop.
Vinohradsky Pivovar
Our first cease was Vinohradsky Pivovar. This brewery as soon as provided beer for the entire neighborhood however it was shut down all through World War II. It has since reopened in a former warehouse.
We had a choice of both an amber lager or a pale lager; Andy and I each select the amber. We additionally snacked on some pork, cabbage, and potato dumplings.
Kulovy Blesk
The subsequent stop, Kulovy Blesk, had a rather lengthy list of beers written on a chalkboard. I went with a cider from Rychnov, and Andy tried the Antoš Double IPA. Andy doesn’t usually like IPAs, however this one was fairly good.
For meals we tried sausages and a few amazing homemade potato chips with a number of dips. Our group of eleven should have eaten through three or 4 gigantic bowls of them.
U Sumavy
Next up we went to U Sumavy the place Andy and I each drank the porter. The pub was decorated with wheels and gears and old photos to look like an old nation pub.
They had a full menu, and Travis ordered us this cheese that had been soaked in oil for greater than a week. There were onions and chili peppers and a few different issues within the combine together with Camembert cheese, and it was so delicious! I loved it so much, I requested Travis email me his private recipe for it so I can try it out at home.
U Pinkasu
The final cease on our Prague beer tour was U Pinkasu the place everybody got the conventional Pilsner Urquell together with pastries that were sort of like pancakes sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. It was the perfect way to finish the evening, with a candy dessert.
Why Viator
Viator isn’t the precise tour company. They collect all sorts of excursions from all through the world and put them in a single place so that you don’t have to go hunting for them.
I like utilizing Viator for this reason. They save me time, and I know that I can discover good excursions for nearly any vacation spot I’m touring to.
Last year I booked a Loire Valley Castles and Wine Tasting Tour through Viator, and I used them to book tickets to see a cabaret present at Moulin Rouge.
I use their site fairly often, and I extremely recommend Viator for your subsequent tour.
Taking the Prague craft beer tour
The exact locations vary from one tour to the next. Each information goes to his or her favourite places, so no two excursions are identical. This makes for a actually distinctive and private experience. Our information definitely knew a lot about beer and even brews his personal at home.
At the time, the cost was sixty three euros (about US$71) and included at least one beer at every pub (several people had two beers at two of the stops) and Czech meals shared amongst the many group at every pub. The cost additionally included native transport tickets all through the tour. (Prices are topic to change.)
This was a night tour beginning at 5pm and lasted about 4 hours. There was sufficient meals all through the tour to consider it your dinner for the night.
This was probably the best factor we did all through our journey to Prague. The group was fun, the information was interesting and knowledgeable, and we had the chance to style beer and meals we wouldn’t have known about otherwise. I definitely recommend including this to your Prague itinerary.
Thank you to Viator for offering us with one complimentary tour. Andy paid for his tour. All opinions and decisions to eat too many potato chips are my own.
