Prague beer, the pubs locals actually drink in.
Beer in Prague is not a novelty experience; it is part of ordinary social life. The classic Czech pale lager is only half the story. Cellar management, turnover and the skill of the person behind the tap matter enormously, which is why locals can be fiercely loyal to a particular pub.
For old Prague atmosphere, U Zlatého tygra is legendary and associated with writer Bohumil Hrabal. Lokál Dlouhááá offers a contemporary lesson in Czech pub culture and serves Pilsner in traditional pours including hladinka, šnyt and the foam-heavy mlíko. To see brewing culture beyond the centre, try Vinohradský pivovar.
The best beer experience in Prague is rarely the place with the biggest sign saying 'beer experience'.
