In Czech

I have had an incredibly full schedule on my blitz through Czech. (Hmmm, that may not be the best wording.)  There's too much to discuss briefly, so here are a few pics instead. 

We spent a day in Prague before arriving in Plzen, site of a significant brewery. 


At Pilsner Urquell, we got to see two of the seven staff coopers in action. 



Then we ascended the old, now disused water tower. It was a rare treat. 


And the view from the top. 


And then to assorted other sites at the brewery. 


The old brewhouse. 


In the cellars ...


Where they still do a bit of open wood fermentation. 

Much more to come...

  1. Great pics jeff. A lot of beer nerds have this idea of lagers as quintessentially modern and post-industrial. That last shot kind of dashes that one to pieces, no?
