Prague Tours

Beer lovers tour

Most Czechs believe that, not only is beer good for you, but that to not drink it regularly severely damages your health! On this tour you will get to test this very pleasant theory.


Most of you will have heard of Staropramen, one of the Czech Republic's most popular beers and famously expensive in Britain. Here in the land of the beer connoisseur, where more beer is consumed per head than in any other country, it is regarded as more of a worker's drink. Prague is home to Staropramen and on this tour you will have the chance to visit its 140 year old brewery as well as a number of traditional Czech pubs. Beware: you might get drunk on this tour!


The Staropramen brewery is located down on the banks of the Vltava river and they have been making the golden stuff since 1871. The entire guided tour, which features detailed explanations of the exhibits and processes, includes a visit to the historic brewhouse and the new one, as well as the fermenting room and the lager cellars. At the end you will get the chance to taste the beer, which is poured for the visitors from a unique tap and you can have all your questions answered by the professionals.


After the visit to the Staropramen brewery your guide will take you on a crawl through some of Prague's most famous traditional Czech pubs where you will get to taste other famous Prague beers such as Budvar and Pilsner Urquell. The guide will also give you a short course in Czech beer etiquette, where you will learn such obscure but essential facts as how to toast and how to pour a beer.
