Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 75 reviews
A technical historical monument, the steam-powered Brewery of Lobec near Mseno is a witness of the five-hundred-years old tradition of beer brewing in the Kokorin region. The first written reference to the brewery dates back to 1586, while the Renaissance core of the existing structure was built around 1600. Between 1894 and1897, Rudolf Cicvarek, a lawyer and owner of the estate, had the original modest artisanal manufactory - once possession of the local gentry of Veznik - rebuilt to become a steam-powered production unit. The project was authored by a renowned engineer, Johan Rosenberg. Since 2007, the premises are possessed by RIOFRIO architectural platform and the exemplary redevelopment and revival of the brewery as a tourist attraction of the Kokorinsko protected landscape area is in progress. The brewery was declared a cultural monument by the Ministry of Culture in 2009...

5. Pilsner Urquell Brewery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,737 reviews
Every country has its symbols and legends and the Czech ones include Pilsner Urquell lager which has been brewed in a town called Plzen (Pilsen) since 1842. Since then the fame of Pilsner Urquell beer has spread around the world and, inspired by this exceptional brew, more than two-thirds of the beers produced today are commonly known as pils, pilsner or pilsener. The brewery tour showcases all of the authentic places where Pilsner Urquell lager has been brewed for more than 175 years, and where its story continues today. You will see the heart of the brewery - both the historical and contemporary brewhouse. You will smell and taste the raw materials that are used to brew Pilsner Urquell, and the panoramic cinema will take you through the brewing process. And at the end you will taste unfiltered Pilsner Urquell beer tapped straight from oak lager barrels in the historic brewery cellars.The brewery is open year-round. The journey from Prague takes about one-and-a-half hours and you can either travel on your own by car, bus or train.

The highlight of my time in Pilsen was the tour inside the brewery! Our guide Elizabeth was funny and very knowledgable, the beer tasting was just superb and the gift shop has some cool merch. If you go to Pilsen, you must do this tour.

What an amazing find this was. The bar has the brew vats alongside and this gives the most amazing aroma as you enter. The beer is to die for and a great selection to suit every taste and being Prague all ridiculously good value for money. Came back a second day for food and it was outstanding! Delicious onion soup made with beer and then a superbly cooked steak and enough chips to feed an army and all brilliant value for money in an amazing setting. Take the number 22 tram out of town for five stops and you’ll see the monastery. Don’t miss this hidden treasure.
8. Pivovar Velke Popovice
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 59 reviews
Follow the Goat at Velke Popovice Brewery and look under the lids of our brewmasters. We will show you how the real Czech beer - Velkopopovicky Kozel - is brewed. The picturesque historical brewery in which this great Czech beer has been brewed for more than 143 years is located only a short driving distance (15km) from Prague.

Kozal is an excellent Czech beer produced in the town of Velke Popovice about 20 miles from Prague. It is easy to get to on bus number 363 from Opatov metro station. The bus leaves from the flyover above the metro station (from the side of the road opposite where buses park up). The fare costs kc24 and you get off the bus at the Velke Popovice Pivovar stop which is shown on an electronic sign in the bus. On leaving the bus you can check return bus times from the timetable on the bus stop on the opposite side of the road. The brewery tour is interesting, informative and friendly covering both the history of the brewery and the brewing process. The brewery's symbol is a goat so it was good fun to both see the brewery goat and their white winter goat. Finally the highlight was a couple of samples in the historic cellar. The timings of tours in various languages can be found on Kozal's website and places can be booked in advance online. Bus times appear to be about 90 minutes before tour times and these can be checked on Prague public transport websites. Overall a great afternoon out from Prague that can easily be achieved on cheap public transport.
