Czech'dis

The chaps Czech out the Czech Republic which, according to the cool kids, is now called Czechia. They explore the country's lovely lagers, rich brewing history and growing microbrewing scene

Show Notes

The reason that Czechs drink more beer per person than any other country in the world is because the country's beers are some of the best in the world - especially if you like lager. Proper lager. In fact, it's a Pivo paradise with a whole host of historic breweries and a thriving craft beer scene. While the beers are easy to drink, some of the names are very difficult to pronounce - as Ben and Tom demonstrate.
Beers that feature include:
Budweiser Budvar, £1.85 from Tesco
Pilsner Urquell, £2 from Asda
Bernard and Matuska brews can be bought here
The Czech & Slovak Bar can be found here
Kout Sumave website is here
Uneticky Pivovar is here
Next week, we'll be talking and tasting vodka including, amongst others, Reyka from Iceland, Absolut Elyx from Sweden and Zubrowka from Poland. All available from The Whisky Exchange
