Here, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes peek into the brewing process—a rare treat. The brewery offers a beer flight of local brews, allowing you to sample several styles before choosing your favorite to enjoy in a proper pint. Alongside, you’ll indulge in a hearty Czech meal featuring traditional pub foods, which pairs perfectly with your beers.
“During the meal, I learned about how Czech beers are crafted,” shared a participant. The experience isn’t just tasting—it’s an educational peek into Czech brewing culture. Plus, you’ll receive a souvenir beer glass, a nice memento to take home.
