Prague Beer Spots?

[canuck]

I'll be in Prague next month on vacation and want to try as many great local brew pubs and tankovna pubs as possible. Having never been there before, does anyone have any recommendations on where the best places are to eat and drink.....with the emphasis being on drinking? Becik, if you happen to read this, thoughts from you would be very welcomed.

Shane, Becik would be the guy to ask but I sent him a pm on Feb 11th to say we had a birthday thread going for him and he hasn’t opened the pm yet or been on the site so it’s unlikely he will read this thread.

If you look at his profile, he has an email, a facebook and a web site. You might have more luck with that. http://www.brewnosers.org/forums/member ... file&u=378" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I'd be more interested in visiting some breweries, and taste the beer when you are there

Have a great trip!

[canuck]

Thanks Mark, perhaps I'll shoot him an email. In the meantime, any breweries, brewpubs, tankovnas, etc that I should be visiting definitely let me know.

Sorry Shane, I wish I had spent more time there, but I dont have any recomendations.

Search the forum for Praha and you'll find Belik's posts on Prague. I've been to some of those spots too. Will dig out my notebook and send you a list.

I emailed my sister. She want to prague a couple of years ago

Prague - No breweries that I notice but found a brilliant cave where they served you up whole legs of pig while seated on goatskins and entertained by bearskin clad weirdos....... Main beer: budvear.

It's because there's no www in front of it.

Hi there. I am a new member here, but have been a long time lurker. I had to respond to this post. I have been to the Czech Republic twice. Once in May 2008 and once in June 2010. I love the place. Beer paradise. Beer (usually Pilsner Urquell or Gambrinus) is everywhere. Corner stores, fast food places, icecream carts. The local sports bar type place near my friend's apartment had half litre mugs of fresh dark Kozel for 17 Czech Krowns.That was about 85 cents Canadian! You will pay more than that in the center of Prague. When you are walking around Prague you should pop into one of the big hyper markets. Tesco, Globus etc. The beer department is usually the largest section in the store We are so backwards here in Canada. The small brewery craft beer scene has grown since I was there last.
In my opinion U Medvidku in one of those places everyone should visit. Tankova Budvar, good traditional food, its own micro brewery upstairs. It even has a small shop with beer related merchandise. Books, t-shirts, beer glasses etc.
U Fleku has been there since 1499. Very touristy but worth a visit. The beer is good. The accordion player is entertaining. He walks around and tries to play songs from the guest's homeland to get them to sing along. Roll out the Barrel for the Germans. Rule Britannia for the Brits etc. He came over to me and started playing Sur le Pont d'Avignon. This confused me until I realised I had my Dieu du Ciel t-shirt on
If you go to the Charles Bridge, everyone does, there is a small beer store down an alley on the Old Town side that specialises in Czech beer. There are lots of beer in there that you would otherwise have to travel well outside of Prague to find. http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/12214/
Up near Prague Castle is Klášterní pivovar Strahov. A brewpub on the grounds of the Strahov monastery. Good food, good beer. I really liked their wheat beer.
Lots of great beer places in Prague. Get out and walk around and pop into the local pubs.

Na Zdravi!
Frank

Frank, thanks very much for the info!!!

If/when you visit U Flecku, skip the digestif shot they bring around (not free, not great, unless you are into that sorta thing): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becherovka" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. And they'll keep bringing beer until you put your beer mat on top of your mug.

Also loved our visit to the Strahov monastery, great beer and food.

Finally, here are a few spots we visited.

http://www.umedvidku.cz/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - Recommended by the others too.
http://lokal-dlouha.ambi.cz/en/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - Enjoyed some wild boar and dumplings while watching CR vs. US in world hockey championships.
http://www.upinkasu.com/pe-history/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - The first pub to ever serve Pilsner Urquell
http://www.thepub.cz/praha-1/?lng=en" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - Request songs and pour your own Pilsner Urquell right from your table!

We also did a day trip out to Plzen via train to the Pilsner Urquell brewery. Highly recommended if you can swing it. You'll pass by some massive hops fields on the way. The cellars/caves and the oak-aged unfiltered beer are something I'll never forgot.

Had to have one this evening. Tastes much better in Prague but still hits the spot.
