Beer and its benefits
Beer not only tastes good, but also has a ton of benefits - that is, if you don't overdo it.
And what are the benefits of beer? Moderate consumption can help lower cholesterol and blood pressure. Thanks to its silicon content, it can help prevent osteoporosis, while the polyphenols it contains help against inflammation. It even reduces the risk of stroke and kidney stones.
No wonder it is so popular with us. However, you can enjoy its benefits in a more entertaining way than sitting in a pub - just head out for one of the many beer experiences.
Tasting beer in a pub, on a boat or in the comfort of your own sofa
One of the most popular beer experiences is, of course, beer tasting. You can enjoy it in several different ways. The most classic tasting awaits you in the Pivotéka located in the Brewery Museum in Pilsen. It offers a tasting of 8 beer specials from small craft breweries.
For another tasting you can go to the Vltava River, where you will sail on a boat with its own brewery and taste 5 beer specials with a great view of Prague.
And staying in Prague, you can ride not only on the water, but also on the road - on a unique beerbike that can accommodate up to 17 enthusiasts. A great teambuilding or bachelor party, don't you think?
And you don't want to go anywhere?
Enjoy a beer tasting in the comfort of your own home. You'll take home 6 beer specials, watch a pre-recorded video, and taste at your own pace.
Tours of famous breweries and craft microbreweries
How about spicing up your beer tasting by soaking up new knowledge? If you take a brewery tour, you'll learn a lot about the history of brewing, get a peek under the hood of modern brewing methods, and see spaces otherwise off-limits to the public. And as a bonus, you'll get to taste what they've brewed here.
Tours of breweries and microbreweries can be found all over the country. Many establishments offer a behind-the-scenes look. Whether it's giants like Plzeňský Prazdroj, Radegast or Gambrinus, or small craft breweries that focus on a range of beer styles for connoisseurs.
Beer baths for internal and external treatment
Beer not only heals internally, but also benefits when used externally. The brewery's yeast, malt and hop essential oils have a healing effect on the skin and soothe sensitive or eczematous skin. If you load up on beer wellness, you'll emerge not only refreshed, but also rejuvenated.
Beer spas can be found practically all over the country, including the beer capital Pilsen, Svijany in North Bohemia and many other cities such as Prague, Brno and even Olomouc. Everywhere you go, you will find a pleasant relaxation in hot water enhanced with a beer mixture. You will then be able to sip unlimited amounts of beer on tap. Just a beer drinker's dream.
Beer courses where you will learn how to brew and tap beer
When you've been to a brewery, haven't you thought it would be cool to know how to brew beer? In that case, we recommend a beer-making kit from Craftira ( Lager or IPA, anyone?), or jump straight into a brewing course where you can learn the craft under the guidance of a pro. Alternatively, you can invite a brewer to your home and learn how to brew beer right in your kitchen.
Brewing beer
But the brewing education doesn't stop there. If you know how to tap beer properly? If you don't know what a draught, a schnitzel or a milk is, we recommend that you remedy this at the draught school at Plzeňský Prazdroj or at Kozl's draught school.
Cheers and here's to experiences that will make you happy.
