Simply the best beer in the world

Beer is regarded by the Czechs themselves as their national drink – whether dark, light, mixed, wheat… There are over 470 different types of beer in the Czech lands. In all Czech restaurants, beer gardens and clubs quality beer is an essential part of the experience. The very best types are the world-renowned light and dark lagers. The atmosphere of a typical Czech pub and the sense of a relaxed conversation among friends are essential for the beer consumption ‘ceremony’.

History

Thanks to its geographical position at the very heart of Europe, the Czech Republic is a place where Europe’s historical forces have literally crossed at all points. The Czech people are suitably proud of their past, meaning that historical celebrations, fencing tournaments, even re-enactments of medieval castle sieges or great battles enjoy great popularity.
