Essential Tips for Beer Travelers
Best Time to Visit
Spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) offer ideal weather and fewer crowds. Summer brings beer festival season, while winter features cozy indoor beer halls.
Getting Around
Czech Republic has excellent public transport. Trains connect major brewing cities, while local buses reach smaller towns. Many organized tours include transportation.
Beer Etiquette
Always say "Na zdravi!" (cheers) and make eye contact when toasting. Beer is traditionally served with a generous head of foam - this is a sign of quality, not poor pouring.
Budget Expectations
Czech beer remains remarkably affordable. Expect to pay 35-60 CZK (1.50-2.50 EUR) for a half-liter in local pubs, slightly more in tourist areas and craft breweries.
