The food was pretty good. We didn't get to do our normal travel tasting as much as we can. We only had lunch and dinner the first day on our own. After that every meal was a buffet at either the brewery or our hotel. Oh and other than the first evening, I had unlimited access to all of the Pilsner Urquell I could drink - free. I drank about all I could on top of all of the food. I could have drunk more if I hadn't been so full!

Not that I'm biased because of the situation, but I definitely prefer Pilsner Urquell. I only had one night free so my Czech friend and I did a little bar hopping in the old town of Prague. I figured that later, it would be all PU all the time (which it was). We stopped at U Fleku for their "famous" house brew. Meh, actually this was my least favorite beer. It's starting OG is 13° and it tasted like its FG was 7°! Tasted like dark, half-fermented wort. I liked Master (also dark) much better but it was a bit weird too (made by Pilsensky Prazdroj - the PU folks). Had Budweiser, it was OK. Had Gambrinus 10° and 13° (made by Pilsensky Prazdroj) liked them better. The 13° not surprisingly had more flavor and body. I also enjoyed Breznak. It was nothing special, but found it a pleasant easy drinker.

I'm drooling! Great pics and trip report Phil - you must have been in heaven with that unlimited beer pass - totally jealous! The banged up copper mash pipe was classic - the universal fix - if it's not working, whack it with a hammer!

Nice pictures, I am jealous as well.
Closest I got was a case of Pilsner Urquell brought smuggled over the border to Austria while I was in college in the 80s. I still remember it tasting better than what I buy now in the stores.
