How To Drink Beer In The Czech Republic

By Travel Magazine Editors May 11, 2023

Pilsner Urquell: Three Pours

The Czech have three ways they drink Pilsner Urquell. It's the same beer, but each style is a very different experience -- it's all in the pour.

When you need a beer, the Czech Republic is the place to be. The birthplace of Pilsner is the home to some of the best, tastiest beer in the world. It’s also extremely affordable, with a pint costing you under $2 USD in many cases.

There are also plenty of places to get your hands on some delicious brew. There are Pilsner Official Restaurants all over the country – and if you’re in Prague, you’ll likely see one on every other block.

Be sure you taste the three ways they serve beer in the Czech Republic:

1. The Hladinka (Smooth) Pour

2. The Na Dvakrat (Crisp) Pour

3. The Mliko (Milk) Pour

Important points from the video:

1. The glass should be the same temperature as the beer

2. Beer should have a nice head because head protects the beer from oxidation

3. Carbonation is lower with a smooth pour, making it great if you’re ready to drink

4. Beer will stay fresher, longer with a crisp pour – good if you’re drinking throughout a meal

5. The milk pour is for the beer connoisseur, and it’s a must try when you visit the Czech Republic

That’s it! You’re now an expert. Well, maybe not an expert. But knock a few of beers back and you’ll start to feel like one.
