Czechs amber liquid, called �Pivo� is world famous, and for many
centuries has been the finest beer available. The distinctive
flavour of Czech beer comes from hand picked Bohemian hops. The
Czech Republic is the largest consumer of beer in the world,
beating Germany. That means that every adult drinks on average
1L of beer a day. The majority of beer produced in Prague is
lager, the best known being Pilsner Urquell and Budvar
(Budweiser). Popular Czech brand include Gambrinus, Staropramen,
Krusovice, Radegast and Velkopopovicky kozel. There are also
some small breweries like NovoMestsky Pivovar producing Flek
(dark beer). Another dark ale style beer - Velvet, is produced
by Prague breweries in Ostrava. If you like Guinness, try Czech
beer Kelt. Beer is normally served in half litre glasses, unless
you ask for small beer (0.3l). Czech�s generally prefer light
beer but in many pubs you can ask for sweeter dark or mixed
beers. Wine produced in the Czech Republic is unfortunately
nothing special, however if you really like wine then try a
young wine called �burcak�. This can usually be bought in
September when the harvest season starts. If you prefer spirits
all well known spirits are available there, the most popular
amongst Czech people being vodka followed by rum and fernet.
Fernet is a dark herbal bitter drink. Fernet can be drank with
tonic and then we call it �bavorak� (Bavarian beer). Becherovka
is another herbal spirit originally from the Bohemian spa town
of Karlovy Vary, this is very popular for its medicinal use.
Another spirits you may come across is �borovicka� a �myslivec�.
In the Czech Republic absinthe is still legal and can be bought
in shops (be warned this is a very strong and dangerous spirit).
�Slivovice� is mostly home made brandy, made from plums and
originally comes from the Moravian hills. If you don�t drink
alcohol, then mineral water called Mattoni is worth trying.
