Pilsner Urquell is superb stuff but about 20-25% dearer than other draught beers. In most places in the Old Town you'll get little change from 60CzK. Staropramen is available almost everywhere; Gambrinus and Krusovice also fairly common, Budvar less so. ETA...for a wee change try Kozel Cenry, its a dark beer but sweet, most unlike our bitter dark beers.

Arch Stanton Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Also try one of the branches of Prague Beer Museum, there's one in Dlouha, 2 minutes walk from the Old Town Square. There's another branch in the Old Town and one near Namesti Miru in the New Town. You xan get 5x150ml glasses of draught beer in a wooden flight and they have around 30 to choose from. IIRC it's about 150CzK 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iminavest Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Heineken are in most pubs these days in the form of Moretti. A wee fruity number this evening to go with the steak sandwich! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amstel brewed in the UK, though, is not a good beer. I really like Heineken. I wonder if the Dutch hatred for it is similar to it being fashionable for Scots to hate on Tennents? Heineken is like the Dutch version of Marmite, people either love it or hate it. It's quite obvious I'm in the "hate" camp. And I genuinely can't stand the stuff, I've been in a pub before that had only Heineken and I decided to go for a wine instead as I didn't want to have Heineken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold Rover Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Heineken taking a lot of hate, here. It’s not the worst beer on the mainstream market. I’ve been in the Netherlands several times recently and found it quite refreshing on a hot day. Far better than, say, Carling, Fosters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) I shriek I'm agony everytime I'm reminded for a couple years straight I drunk Fosters in my local. In fairness, they only had that and Carling and the pub was fucking brilliant. Sadly died a death since our lot moved on/grew up (not me). No wonder though.

Fratelli Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 B&M sell Oranjeboom - both the 5% cans and the 3.5% bottles. The cans aren't too bad imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 A nice relaxing pint of Paulaner in the sun before a barbecue. This holiday will be over far too soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Just days and days of Lithuanian beer. A very underrated country for beer. They have a black currant one which is utterly fantastic, but their typical lagers are all fine and I've got a wheat one just now which is hitting the spot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Grimbergen Blonde. Very similar to Leffe and very nice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 And Pelforth Blonde. Less strong, less flavour. Almost seems like a normal (but very good lager) but dangerous at 5.8%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 This will knock your head off. Peppermint tea with a huge splurge of Mike’s Hot Honey (chilli infused honey). Like an OVD and Crabbies for those who have to go to work in the morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Haven’t had a Coopers Dark Ale for maybe 15 or 20 years and I know why. Sweet and bland and 2 make matters worse 2 out of 3 bottles consumed so far have been almost flat. 3 to go and buy no more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
