The number of Czech microbreweries has been on the rise in the recent years; currently, there are about 350 of them. They are usually established at locations of former breweries, but there are even mountain-hut breweries or a boat brewery.
In October, the probably most extreme microbrewery was opened in the Czech Republic – the Pivovar boat brewery in Prague, anchored on the Vltava river near the Štefánik bridge. They brew their beer right on the boat and they expect to brew around 1,500 hectolitres of beer per year. During summer, sausages are to be smoked on the upper deck of the Pivovar boat brewery and traditional Czech dishes are to be served on the middle deck. The lower deck is devoted to beer.
The new Pivovar is the 33rd brewery in Prague, with several new breweries being established there every year. Breweries are not just scattered around the suburbs of the Czech capital. There are currently 11 breweries just within a 500-meter radius of Národní třída (the city centre, nearby the National theatre).
You can also have a beer in one of the Prague pubs, whose number is increasing as well. In addition to traditional pubs, such as Kulový Blesk or Pivovarský klub, you can also visit the newly established Bad Flash Bar in Karlín. Twelve varieties of beer are offered here on tap and there is a selection of up to 300 varieties of bottled beer.
