On our way to Praha, we saw the sign and took the exit to go and have a beer at the place where the pilsner originated. The sidetrack was definetly worth it! The brewery itself was unmistakeable, gleaming from behind its walls and massive gate. A beacon amongst a city still catching up with its freedom and from years of destruction and bombings. The brewery itself still has bomb shelters in place. Once in side the gate, everything is prestine, modern and in place. A great historical walk through the yard filled with relics of past train cars, wagons and beer trucks. On this day the actual brewery tour was closed. However, more importantly to our crew, the beer tasting bar and resturaunt was ready for us. I have to say, having a cold pils, there, tasted very , very , very good! We sat enjoyed out drink, ate some snacks and watched as the mix of international guests came and went. Truly worth a stop, how could you pass it up!!?!

The best bread bowl of Gulas soup is at their restaurant. You have to take the tour just to task the unpasteurized beer (best beer ever!).

Great atmosphere and fresh beer

great beer! got to taste it
