Hostomická nalévárna pale lager

On my last full day in Prague, I met up with my friend and esteemed brewing colleague, Ric. We had a great day visiting many pubs:

  1. Vinohradský: Very modern, with a variety of traditional and craft styles. Pleased to see an amber lager.
  2. Pivovarský Dům Benedict: Also quite modern with an excellent dark lager
  3. Cvikovský: More traditional but with many varieties, including an 8º
  4. Zlatého Tygra: The Golden Tiger, a favorite, serving Urquell
  5. Lokál U Bílé kuželky: Ultra-fresh tank Urquell with a nice view of the tanks in the basement
  6. Hostomická nalévárna: The highlight of the day, traditional Czech pale lagers with fresh grain character, distinct hops, subdued diacetyl

It wasn’t all beer. I did stop at Perníkový panáček to get some gingerbread to bring home to the kids, and we strolled through the grounds of the Franz Kafka museum.
