Just over a week ago I went to Plzeň to join a group of British beer writers — Adrian Tierney-Jones, Mark Dredge, Pete Brown and Tim Hampson — at Pilsner Fest 2010. In addition to the festive, carnival-like atmosphere at giants Pilsner Urquell and Gambrinus, we also visited craft brewers and new brewpubs, as well as historic dives and dingy bars, to make a short film about beer culture in one of Europe’s greatest brewing cities.
You should read my newest Kindle Single, “The Meanings of Craft Beer.”
Get “Why Beer Matters,” the best-selling essay on the world’s best-loved beverage:
Buy “In Praise of Hangovers,” selected by Amazon as one of the best books of the year so far:

Take the train or catch a bus. Prague to Pilsen will take about an hour. The journey is worth it. Experience the new world of beer. Enjoy the beers, relish the bars and just have a good time. Pilsen is a true city of beer culture.
