Two Brothers – Northwind Imperial Stout
Preamble: On one of the first sunny days of the summer, at the weekend, I finally stopped being lazy and made it all of 15 minutes (drive) away to the Two Brother’s Tap house, which is conveniently located next to the Two Brother’s brewery. Not only does the menu spoil you for choice, but you...
Pivovar Kout, Prague
It’s not often I get let out, so when doing so it is always a good idea to make the most of it. Making the most of it this time meant being all the way back in Prague enjoying the finest of Czech Beers. Pivovar Kout is located in Praha-Žižkov, and it was a convenient...
Emmett’s – Double Barrel Stout
Of all the beer styles in the world, the Stouts variety has to be the one I would tend towards over everything else. Yes, Guinness is consistently the good one and available everywhere, but there are some really good alternatives available. I remember a very long time ago (or so it seems) having a cracking...
Opat – Kvasnicovy Lezak
Having enjoyed the Opat Bitter a while back, the on-tap Lezak is certainly something I would not be passing up. I hear a lot of mixed things about Opat, and the availabilty does seem to fluctuate; one of the bigger super markets in CZ (I refuse to mention the name because I am boycotting them)...
Zvikovska – Tmava 13°
The last (at least for now) evening out at Pivo Klub; So many new beers to try and so little time. One of the great things about Pivo Klub is the fact that they rotate the draft beers and bring in the kind of beers that you wouldn’t normally find in Prague – the world...
Pivovar Kocour – Sezon (2008)
This beer is so new that at time of writing it isn’t even on RateBeer.com; the brewer also doesn’t seem to have a website as such so there isn’t much to go on. This is a Saison style beer that originally comes from the farmhouses of Belgium, brewed for consumption during the harvest; even though...
Pivovarsky Dum – Stepan
This beer is available both in Pivovarsky Dum and Klub, possibly brewed by another brewery (Pivovar Kacov); it does say on the bar menu that this is from Pivovarsky Dum; however, I am reliably informed that this beer is no longer brewed at Pivo Dum because they are exhausting their capacity. The Beer: 4%; Wheaty,...
Konrad – 14° Jocker
As I was leaving the beer festival two bored looking waiters asked me if I wanted to try a ‘special’ beer, it was new that day and was really worth trying. Given the fact that I had one “Toller” remaining it seemed like the right thing to do, for one the Konrad brewery was on...
Janacek – 11° Patriot
For no other reason than the fact that we liked to the look of the logo (how fickle we are), and the beer came with recommendation, we tried out the lighter offering from the Janacek Brewery. The brewery at Uhersky Brod has been brewing since the latter part of the 13th Century and it is...
