pivovarský klub prague
Monday, September 28th, 2009this post is a continuation of the brew highlights from last year’s european adventure.
after a long trek out to holesovice and pivni galerie (review soon!) in the czech republic, AP and I were in desperate need of refreshment. pivovarský klub definitely came through nicely.
- this place had a great bottle selection (200+ bottles) that included many american/west coast offerings. it was pretty amazing to see some local bottles from places like stone brewing so far from home.
- the downstairs bar was amazing too – bottles lined the walls and the modest tap selection was top notch. the traditional food was great too.
- I tried out the dum stepan from their house brewery, pivovarsky dum – it was a great czech pils that I wish I could get more often.
- I also had a svijany maz from svijany brewery – this beer doesnt seem to get much love on beeradvocate, but I remember it as hiding its 11%abv well and being quite drinkable and refreshing.
- AP had the lipan from these guys in drazic (I think). she also had her now-favorite beer, the pivo svetly lezak from opat aka pivovar broumov, a brewery whose offerings have been impossible to find here in the states (much to AP’s disappointment).
- overall, this place was comfortable, relaxing, and had great service. I will definitely make a point to stop by again the next time I am in the area.
