Pilsner Urquell Brewery - Pilsen

I did the English tour which was an iPhone app tagging along with a Czech tour. Really good experience. The cellars is the best but. The gift store is good too. Well worth a half days trip from Prague for example.

Great tour and beer. Karin Anna provided a wonder tour. The glass of the unpasteurized and unfiltered beer was the best Pilsner Urquell we have ever had.

Cool traditional brewery to visit in Pilsen. You will recieve information about the craft of brewing and the dedication and traditions that go with it. For €12,50 per person it's ok, but I would've expected more beer tasting than 1 small glass. During the tour you get the feeling that tradition and craft is more important than making money (for example the use of copper kettles instead of stainless steel), but that feeling completely disapears when you end in the gift shop with a very basic polo for €80, a decorated beermug for €32 and a jacket for €120. After the main tour we've also had the bottling plant tour. Tip: if you don't speak Czech, then don't bother booking it. Even though we've booked the main tour in English, the bottling plant tour is in Czech, is absurdly short and the viewing windows were very dirty. Tip for the venue: include the bottling tour in the main tours language and reduce the absurd prices of the giftshop.

Pilsner Urquell was the world's first pale lager, and was so popular that the German form of the town's name, Pilsner, became ubiquitous around the world, even being served by request to royalty. Today we were fortunate to not only tour the old brewery, but also the new, before a group of us were taken into the subterranean tunnels for more exploration and to sample it straight from the underground barrels. I'm a little bereft of adequate descriptors, so let's just say damnation. And btw one could totally vanish down there and no one would see you for a long time in those tunnels

Great tour of the different parts of the brewery. Tour lasts about 2 hours and finishes with a tasting in the cellars... definitely recommend. You can book tours online in different languages.
