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.
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...
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?
