Three years have passed and I have again published a beer guide to Prague. The structure of the beer guide has remained the same, but the design and content have changed dramatically. The introduction is devoted to the legal regulation of Czech beer and its classification according to the legislation, and then a list of beer houses is given by districts - Zizkov, Vinohrady, Karlin, Center, Mala Strana, Nusle and Vrsovice, Smichov. 
Following numerous requests from Pilsner beer fans, the most important places of Prazdroj's beer power have been described - Jelinkova pivnice, U Zlateho Tygra, U Rudolfina, U Hrocha, Lokal, U Glaubicu. And then a terrible mistake came out, to be honest. Exactly a week ago, I once again went to Grokh with my friends and suddenly a witch who had known me for a long time asked if I was a Pole. I replied that he was not a Pole, but a Ukrainian, to which the character replied that they no longer serve Poles and Ukrainians and he would not pour beer for us (one of his friends spoke to the chishnik in English, trying to reason, however, in response, only the phrase sounded that "There are no empty seats", although we were already sitting at a table, strictly speaking). I don’t know why these two nations did not please him, but this is not an excuse for discrimination, so I strongly advise Grokh, I’m sure the descendants of the very people who 70 years ago were the first to run and destroy Jewish shops work there. By the way, one of the rather good beer places, Dno Pytle, has long ceased to exist for me, or, more precisely, from the very moment when a sign in Russian “We do not serve the occupants” was placed above the bar counter.
We generally forget about Grokh and pass by the Nazis, but the rest of the list of pubs, state houses and restaurants turned out to be quite representative and worthy of your attention. I am sure that even those who are not new to Prague beer tourism will discover something new and pleasant to visit. At the moment, a beer guide to Prague is sold in Zubac and Pivotek ižkOFF (when it opens in September) and in the Hare Restaurant near Staromak.
The Czech Republic undoubtedly holds the lead in at least two parameters: in terms of the number of churches per capita in the majority of the godless, to be honest, the population and the beer drunk for the same capita, the average Czech, according to statistics, drinks almost a glass of liquid gold every day. Why do Czechs love their second bread so much? Yes, because beer loves them. It is a mutual passion that has been cultivated for centuries. Beer and the atmosphere in the state house associated with it are truly a real medicine for the soul of almost any Czech. Why are Czechs so fond of Czech beer? The answer to this question is much more complicated: the Germans and Austrians are probably because it is still cheaper, the Americans are more likely out of envy, the Poles and Hungarians because only patriots drink theirs, the Japanese and Chinese, I think, because of the sunny color, and the Russians, or, politically correct, the Russians? The Russians love him, probably for all these reasons at once, and each separately for some other reason. My book is for everyone who loves beer, and Czech beer in particular.

Read completely The Czech Republic undoubtedly holds the lead in at least two parameters: in terms of the number of churches per capita in the majority of the godless, to be honest, the population and the beer drunk for the same capita, the average Czech, according to statistics, drinks almost a glass of liquid gold every day. Why do Czechs love their second bread so much? Yes, because beer loves them. It is a mutual passion that has been cultivated for centuries.

The Russians love him, probably for all these reasons at once, and each separately for some other reason. My book is for everyone who loves beer, and Czech beer in particular. If you are familiar with this blessed drink only from the reviews of friends, or thanks to rare visits to beer bars with insane prices, or by a bottle of Prazdroya bought on the occasion in a supermarket, I strongly recommend that after reading these pages or at least skimming through them, postpone all the vital and boring business, get on the first plane and plunge into the unforgettable world of golden Czech heritage as soon as possible. After all, local beer has some kind of special, romantic attraction, and almost half of the tourists who have visited or are about to visit the Czech Republic associate this country with the most popular drink in the world. For me, Czech beer is not only and not so much Plzeský Prazdroj, Krusovice, Budweiser or Staropramen, which have long and deservedly won fame and recognition all over the world, for me Czech beer is primarily interesting for those people who, in the context of global Europeanization and fierce competition, think not only about the wallet, but also about tastes, while managing to survive and develop successfully. While building the outline of the presentation, I chose the forward movement through the tourist regions. The representation of the country in this way takes into account the geographical, climatic and natural conditions, the characteristics of the peoples, their inhabitants, customs, culture, the influence of neighboring nations, the possibility of an attractive combination and optimal planning of routes and trips. I hope my book will help you better navigate in all the beer variety, while not forgetting the mysterious streets of Prague, the beauty of flowing Czech mountains, the gray history of castles and fortress ruins, organically merging with the beer aura. The only wish is that everyone, having read it to the end, would be able to state how wonderful life with beer is, although sometimes at first glance it doesn't look like that.
2nd edition, revised and enlarged.
The number of beer restaurants in Prague is overwhelming. Where to go first? To simplify your choice, I have compiled a selection of the best, in my opinion, beer restaurants. They will serve you well and serve the freshest Czech beer!
Where to begin?
My acquaintance with Czech beer and Czech cuisine, I advise you to start from the very oz in order to calibrate your taste buds and tune in the Czech way.
Start by tasting a Staropramen Light Beer with Ribs at any chain restaurant. Then try beer goulash with Kozel dark beer on tap at any. Taste Czech classics - beer from Pilsen with svichkov and sour cream in real (this is also a restaurant chain).
Customized your taste buds? Then we go to the next level. We taste the amber and dark beer Sv. Norbert at, and if you're feeling like a pro then check out the local IPA.
Let's have some fun with beer with different flavors - let's order a beer carousel in, the wildest taste of nettle beer!
Now you've reached the final level - trying craft beer. Taste 6 weekly regional beers at. Stop by for a beer novelty. Be sure to grab a few bottles of craft beers home at Base Camp.
And now the beer list itself:
The best pubs and restaurants in Prague
A little about Prague restaurants
Prices in Prague restaurants are very different. In the center, they almost do not differ from Moscow prices, closer to the outskirts are cheaper, and the size of portions grows. The amount of beer dispensed has also decreased in recent years. It is now normal to serve 0.4L beer instead of 0.5L.
If you want to feel the real Czech atmosphere with plump Czechs, pubs, where the foamy drink flows like a river, and fried sausages or cheese are usually served from snacks, then take a look at my rating.
You know that Czech cuisine is meat in all its forms. But if you are a vegan, then all is not lost! I've put together a few for you.

Traditions of Czech breweries
Almost every beer hall in Prague has its own brewery, and we will definitely look into one of them! You will see how beer is made “here and now”, examine special equipment and learn the secrets of brewing. I will tell you a fascinating history of Czech beer: in which monasteries this drink was brewed and which beer laws were issued by Czech kings in the Middle Ages. You will learn about the brewing traditions of the Czech Republic, about the technologies of medieval brewing and about who previously had the right to brew this magnificent drink.
Non-touristy corners of the city
We will start our walk from Wenceslas Square, and then our way will pass through inconspicuous, but extremely interesting streets and back streets of the Old and New Towns, where tourists rarely step. I will take you along a non-standard route: through old walkways and gateways, gardens and parks. You will see Prague from a new side - real, authentic, see where and how real Prague citizens live, and on the way you will hear the history of the city and its main attractions. I will tell you how the Czech kings lived and ruled, how cathedrals, the town hall and other architectural monuments of Prague were built.

Welcome travelers! Let's get acquainted! I moved to Czechoslovakia back in 1992. It happened. The President of Czechoslovakia Vaclav Havel invited the descendants of the Czechs (who moved to Russia at the end of the 19th century) to return to their "historical homeland". Well, I took a chance. I am an artist and art critic by profession. Graduated from the Academy of Arts in the mid-80s. For many years I taught painting, drawing, graphics, art history in Prague educational institutions. Since 2000 I am a licensed guide. With professional education and licenses from the Czech Ministry of Economy, the Austrian Ministry of Tourism (which gives the right to conduct excursions in Austria and Vienna), a license from the European Union with the right to conduct excursions in all countries of the European Union. I never stop painting. Over the years, I have held more than 20 personal exhibitions in Prague, Czech Republic, Poland, Germany, Holland, Canada. So I'm not only interested in beer. My specialization is excursions to museums in Europe, to the wonderful Prague museums and art galleries. And since I have taught art history for many years, I will be able to tell you interesting and not tiresome about the history of the Czech Republic, about Prague architecture, about difficult political situations in the centuries-old Czech history. My task is to make you fall in love with the Czech Republic and Prague, so that you learn a lot for yourself and want to come back here again and again.

Since the guide offered us a replacement, we didn’t get exactly what we expected. But overall not bad
Thank you very much to Vyacheslav for this excursion. On almost every trip, I always choose a gastronomic or ecological excursion. And it seems to me that these are one of the most difficult excursions for guides. Indeed, in addition to general and historical knowledge, they require knowledge in cooking, winemaking, and in Prague, of course, in brewing. But the knowledge itself is not an end in itself, you still need to be able to correctly convey it to the guests who come on the excursion. Vyacheslav succeeded brilliantly. He is not just an interesting storyteller with a serious background of knowledge. He is inspired by Prague and his love for this city will surely "infect" you)
The excursion is structured in such a way that “theory is combined with practice”, and “practice reinforces theory”.
In my opinion, this will be one of your best Czech excursions, even if you are not very fond of beer, but it will certainly be an unforgettable adventure during your “Czech” vacation.
Secret places of Prague will open for you, breweries that really brew their own “craft” beer that tastes amazing, and the time you spend on a tour will not be counted in your life span.
I definitely recommend it !!!
There were not enough stories about kings and how the town halls were built =), there were not enough stories about beer and pubs, perhaps it's my expectations. Beers are shown hidden in the excursion, but it was expected straight about 10, in fact, less. Many questions had to be invented by ourselves, there were many "pauses" in communication, there was no information oversaturation, as usually happens in such cases. We ordered three diverse excursions on the site. I liked all three, but this one is smaller. I can definitely recommend it if you are not aware of the location of hidden, but at the same time quite popular breweries.
Tatiana is a wonderful storyteller! And most importantly, patient (one client had a birthday after the celebration and just tormented him with questions)! Loved the route and the unusual beer! Recomend for everybody!!
Great excursion. Vyacheslav is an educated, intelligent person. Interesting storyteller. We walked around the city and visited many interesting places with local cuisine. He took into account our wishes and interests in certain foods / drinks. Highly recommend.
Not bad. Especially good for those who are in Prague for the first time. You will not find such interesting places in the city on your own. Guide Vyacheslav is great, a smart person ...
