I went on a weeks beer drinking holiday in the Czech Republic over the summer, see if you can get hold of the 'CAMRA Good Beer Guide to Prague and the Czech Republic'. It's got all sorts of useful info in it. Try to avoid the big nasty brewers like Staropramen and Urquell - if you want to try...

Will Schorschbräu bite though, throughout this odd strongest beer in the world arms race/format war thing they'd had going with Brewdog the new 'strongest' beer releases have roughly been 3-4 months apart, the balls firmly in their court.
