discover the long and proud tradition of Czech beer A long-held tradition in the Czech Republic is the drinking and enjoyment of beer. Most of today’s beer is based on the pale lager brewed since 1842 in the town of Pilsen. However, there are many delicious local beer varieties throughout the Czech Republic. Mr. Jan Kocka is a renowned beer expert. A brewer himself, he will provide your guests with fascinating insights into the history and process of beer-making from Bohemia and Moravia, right up to the present day Czech Republic. During special beer breaks delegates will also get the chance to try different types of local beers for themselves. For an authentic Czech beer experience, Mr. Kocka will also be happy to show you some of Prague’s famous beer houses. 1 of 2 Contact us for pricing specific to your group.
