Love at first pint, that's something that's happened to me quite a few times. I think you know what I mean, you walk into a pub for the first time, without really knowing what to expect, but when you're sipping your first beer, you realise you've come to the right place. Love at first sight with a pub, however, that's something I don't re ...

You've all heard the news of ABIB's newest acquisition, so I'm not going to repeat it. What amazes me, though, is, on the one hand, that many people are still surprised with this sort thing, as if it was something new, and on the other, the reactions of many of those people: sadness, anger, disappointment... I could understand ...

When I first got to know something about Zemský Pivovar back in 2013, I was impressed by their ambition. New micro-breweries are a dime-a-dozen these days, and unless one is opening near where you live, they are hardly interesting news anymore, but 20,000 hl/year one? That's not something you see every day, in fact, it's something we h ...

It's been almost a month since I posted something here. I've been too busy, and brain-fried to write anything, let alone anything worth reading. Not that the following will be one of my best posts, but I do want to get back on the writing saddle, and there's no better way to do it than taking advantage of the date and look back a bit at the y ...

I've got these two beers from my Russian friend Jegor (it's funny how we met, at the Svijany Pivní Slavnosti in 2007, where we exchanged a few words, and now we get together for a couple of pints whenever he comes to Prague). They are from Jaws, a micro-brewery from Ekaterimburg, the best in the area, according to him. The other day ...

(Well, one of them isn't that new, actually) I've been to three places that many people have been talking about. Last week I was at BeerGeek and Dno Pytle, a week earlier, to Vinohradský Pivovar BeerGeek, a spin-off of what many consider to be the best Pivotéka in Prague, opened in mid October, I think, and beca ...

Let's see if any brewers out can give me an answer to this. At equal capacity in hl, will the geometry of the brewing equipment affect the water and energy efficiency of the brew in any significant way? This just popped into my mind for no particular reason. I'd say it will, but I'd like to be sure. Thanks in advance. Na Zdrav&iac ...

A specialised store form Catalonia has been kind enough to explain to us the reason why craft beer isn't so cheap (in Spanish) with four, very simple arguments that will surely end the heated debate about prices. The following is the first of them (translation mine): Limited production. This kind of beer can't be bought in another city or ...
