We drove to Plzen today via Karlstejn.
Karlstejn is a small village not far out of Prague that houses a great medieval castle. Unfortunately the English tour was too late for us (and we couldn’t enter by ourselves) so we only saw it from the outside... but it looked very cool. We ventured on to Plzen, which is famous for its beer.... Pilsner Urquell.
As you can imagine this was the main reason for coming to this town... we spent the afternoon visiting the museum, which outlined the history of PIlsner beer and the beer making process with, of course, a free glass of beer at the end, and then we visited the Brewery. The tour around the Brewery took us through the old and new brewery houses, the packaging house, and the cellar.... and also ended with a taster - this time straight from the keg.
Jack has declared Pilsner Urquell his new second favourite beer, after “the almighty Cascade Draught”.
