While the rest of the world swears by water, the Czechs drink gigantic mugs of beer to quench their thirst. Bohemians love their beer and have brewed the beverage with utmost dexterity since time immemorial. The golden potion is almost like an integral part of their existence so much so that Czech monasteries were the earliest centres of brewing. Lager, which essentially is ice-cold beer, is a favourite with the locals while Pilsner (pale-golden lager) is the most common type of Czech beer. The unfiltered dark beer receives an equal amount of love. The flavours might range from light to overpowering, fruity to wickedly creamy, but every single variant is delicious. Even if you are not a connoisseur of this alluring beverage, a short tryst with Prague will transform you into one. While beer halls have majorly been associated with Germany, there is no dearth of the same across the Czech Republic, especially Prague. The city is obsessed with its breweries, beer gardens and pubs, and rightly so. Looking for good beer is a lot like the search for Nirvana and Prague is a great place to go seeking. In order to help you embark on your beer journey, here’s a list of five beer halls in Praha that you must absolutely visit.
