Ahhhhhh Beeeer. Our trip to Eastern Europe certainly brought us into contact with a lot of different tasty beers. We never like to do anything excessively but we somehow managed to drink a lot of beer, even when trying not to. We sampled different beers from different countries and they were all good. When we were in the mountains we planned to be fit and healthy but with the weather we ate and drank and drank some more to pass the time in our windy, rainy refuge.


We managed Gambrinus in Prague, Pilsner Urquel, Budweiser Budvar (Czech not US), Zlatarog, Bernards, Regent, Zlaty Bazant, Velt, Corgon, Staro Brno, Ottakringer, Zipher, Stiegl and Goeser. There were probably a few others too but we may have forgotten them all. Many locals could be seen having there breakfast beers at 9-10am but we made sure we waited till at least 12pm for our lunch beer.


In Slovakia in the mountains we even discovered the fancy? 1.5litre plastic bottles of beer - happy times.

Probably the same emotions as finding the Rosetta stone or discovering Australia.
