Prague and Beer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Virtually everyone can affiliate Prague with beer, however we principally know concerning the massive manufacturers like Staropramen or Pilsner Urquell. Nicely, there’s much more beer to strive in Prague. A whole lot of that beer comes from microbreweries throughout the nation. About 20 of them are in Prague, and every of them creates distinctive craft beers you can\u2019t discover wherever else. After all, hitting 20 microbreweries on a weekend journey isn\u2019t reasonable. So, a microbreweries tour is your best choice to be launched to the craft beer scene of Prague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first cease was Ossegg Pivovar and Restaurant, a brief stroll from the assembly level. On our chilly November night, the tasting began with a shot of beer spirit, one thing referred to as Pivovice Svach. Fairly robust for me, however the guys within the group have been completely happy to heat up with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OSSEGG makes 4 completely different beers, and so they come on a tasting tray. In between sips, we discovered concerning the components and the beer-making course of.

\"Our
The place would you begin?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My favourite beer out of the 4 at Ossegg was a Purple Ale, the Ruthard 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concerning the numbers: within the Czech Republic, they label the beers with EPM, which is the proportion of the extract of unique (hopped) wort (extrakt p\u016fvodn\u00ed mladiny = EPM<\/em> in Czech). It\u2019s not the identical because the ABV that we’re used to (alcohol by quantity). As a rule, the upper the EPM, the upper the ABV as nicely, however there is no such thing as a actual formulation. As an example, my semi-dark Ruthard 11 had a 4.5% ABV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had two completely different beers right here, the ten Legie and the 14 New Jersey (discover the numbers once more?). I actually couldn\u2019t make up my thoughts about which I preferred greatest. The Legie has extra bitterness, which I like. However, New Jersey is extra hazy and citrusy. One other nice beer at Lod was the 13 Honey Fitz. Historically, the Czechs make honey beer for Christmas. Other than its festive style, it additionally retains you heat with its increased alcohol content material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
