Inflatable Pilsner Urquell


The culture of beer is just a little more fun in Europe. It just seems to be a more integral part of family life. It is common for breweries to sponsor small festivals in city centers aimed at the whole family; and of course, part of that is creating temporary beer gardens in urban squares.

Gambrinus


Gambrinus is one of the leading selling beers in the Czech Republic. It's from the same town of Plzen that has given the world Pilsner Urquell and is usually sold as the "cheaper sister" at every Pilsner Urquell pub in the country. In Prague, Gambrinus is actually more popular than Pilsner Urquell. It is not only 15-20% cheaper on average, its quality is more consistent. Unfortunately, it is not exported beyond Central Europe.

U Bulinu Serves Pilsner Urquell


If you're in Prague, and you're looking for an authentic Czech dining experience at real Czech prices, in a conveniently located area, and free from the throng of tourists, you really can't go wrong with Restaurace U Bulinu in the Vinohrady section of Prague.

Like all truly Czech restaurants, finding the dining areas is the task of an explorer. When one first walks in, one gets the impression that U Bulinu is merely a small pub with a bar counter that seats a half dozen patrons accompanied by a half dozen tables that seats maybe two and half dozen. But if you walk past the bar you'll find a dining room, and if you walk past that, you'll find yet another dining room. If you walk through the corridor where the public toilets are located, you'll find yet another dining area, this one an open-air garden. All of this is traditionally Czech.

Pilsner Urquell


Since SABMiller purchased this Czech brewery, Pilsner Urquell isn't the best kept secret it once was, but it's still under-appreciated outside of the Czech Republic. Part of the reason is that bottled Pilsner doesn't approach draught Pilsner in quality, and the beer simply doesn't travel very well. A true Pilsner, however, is a special treat. Golden in color and topped off by a light and almost frothy head. Its taste and bouquet come from Pilsner's use of Saaz hops, a product grown in the Czech Republic.
