Traditional gastronomy is, without any doubt, one of the most appealing elements of travelling abroad. Enjoying local ingredients, dishes and beverages is an integral part of the travel experience and unique to each destination, including Prague which, to this day, continues to celebrate its world-renowned brewing industry.

Although not necessarily one of the primary European destinations that spring to mind when it comes to beer, the roots of the Czech tradition of brewing beer can be found in the old documents stored at Břevnov Monastery, which was founded in 993.

Want to know how to best experience this long-standing tradition? Then follow us on the journey through the history of the industry and get inspired for your next trip to Prague!
