Pilsner Urquell Brewery, Pilsen

I did the English tour which was an iPhone app tagging along with a Czech tour. Really good experience. The cellars is the best but. The gift store is good too. Well worth a half days trip from Prague for example.

Pilsner Urquell was the world's first pale lager, and was so popular that the German form of the town's name, Pilsner, became ubiquitous around the world, even being served by request to royalty. Today we were fortunate to not only tour the old brewery, but also the new, before a group of us were taken into the subterranean tunnels for more exploration and to sample it straight from the underground barrels. I'm a little bereft of adequate descriptors, so let's just say damnation. And btw one could totally vanish down there and no one would see you for a long time in those tunnels 🤣😇🫣 The brewery itself is not just a brewery. It's a whole town. The experience is educational, cohesive, expansive, they take you through time and history, before leaving you into the earth, guiding you through tunnels... Cold tunnels, for your barrel samples. You're going to love this. It's completely worth it and it's place is amazing.
