Top 10 Top 10 Czech Beers
-
1. Staropramen
The home-town favourite has a light, fruity flavour. Brewed in the Smíchov district, its popularity owes as much to marketing as it does to local pride.
-
2. Pilsner Urquell
The best-known Czech beer on the international market comes from the town of Plzeň, 80 km (50 miles) southwest of Prague. It has a strong, hoppy flavour.
-
3. Krušovice
Rudolph II established the Krušovice brewery, which produces this sweet and somewhat flat beer. Try the syrupy dark (tmavé ) variety.
-
4. Budvar
Brewed in the town of České Budějovice, the beer is no relation to the American Budweiser (see There’s Only One Bud).
-
5. Velkopopovický Kozel
This strong, smooth beer is well worth seeking out – some consider it the world’s finest.
-
6. Velvet
This sophisticated stout, brewed by Staropramen, is catching on in Prague.
-
7. Gambrinus
In light and dark varieties, this is the best-selling beer in the country.
-
8. Bernard
This unpasteurized beer has a distinct, bitter-sweet flavour and a hoppy aroma.
-
9. Herold
Here’s a twist: Americans brewing beer in Bohemia. The centuries-old recipe produces a caramel, malty brew.
-
10. Braník
Braník is made with real Vltava river water, giving it its distinct flavour.
