Pilsen dreaming
I love the Czech Republic, love the cities, love the countryside, love the people and naturally adore the beers produced over there. I seem to have visited quite a lot in the last couple of years and produced a fair few stories: this is the latest one, on Pilsen (the entrance to Pilsner Urquell, right), which appears in today’s Daily Mail here. As the sun streams in through the window I wouldn’t mind taking myself off to Klub Malych Pivovaru in the city to enjoy a couple of 12˚ pale lagers or heading out to the city limits to Purkmistr, where one of the best beer festivals in Europe happens every September. Instead I’m at home, but there is a bottle of Konrad’s 12˚ pale lager chilling in the fridge. Let’s see what happens.

ReplyDeleteI know this feeling very, very well, and have some Pilsner Urquell and Staropramen in the fridge...
Went to the Bohemian highlands in September — another totally different aspect of the country and fascinating in that it was part of the old Sudetenland and you get breweries like Breznak that still make a bock
