Pilsner Urquell Brewery
Pilsner Urquell Brewery Review
This is a must-see for any beer lover. The first Pilsner beer was created in 1842 using the excellent Plzen water, a special malt fermented on the premises, and hops grown in the region around Zatec. (Hops from this area remain in great demand today.) Guided tours of the brewery, complete with a visit to the brewhouse and beer tastings, are offered daily at 12:30 and 2. The brewery is east of the city near the railway station.
