If you’re a beer drinker and are visiting Prague, you should not miss the Pilsner Urquell Beer Experience. It’s an interesting place to visit if you’re interested in brewing, fermentation and drinking beer.

Here you’ll learn about the history of beer production dating back to ancient times…





…and about the Plzeň Beer Rebellion which occurred in 1838.

At that time, tavern owners in the town of Plzeň, Czech Republic, were fed up with poor and inconsistent beer quality and dumped out 36 barrels in protest.

Wanting a consistent product, they recruited Bavarian master brewer, Josef Groll. He made many changes which were considered radical at the time, but resulted in a product that was widely popular. The drink was named Pilsner and was the first ever pale lager. 🍺




Spread over three floors, this fun and inactive museum will keep you entertained from start to finish. The several stops along the way to enjoy a cold beer, certainly add to the experience as well. There’s even a fun, interactive game room.
One thing I didn’t find appealing were these various beer products; hmm.



Tickets are €24.00 ($28.00) and include two beers. Click here for additional information.
After enjoying the beer experience we wandered through the city taking in the gorgeous architecture.

That looks like it was a lot of fun! Remember when beer shampoo was a popular thing? Apparently it can temporarily add volume and shine but the alcohol in it isn’t good for hair. Like you though, I wouldn’t want to put it in my hair or shower with it, either! Prague is a gorgeous city. I remember it well. Cheers.

It was a fun museum to visit; very original and entertaining. I don’t remember beer shampoo; but, like you, I doubt I would have tried it even back then. Yes, Prague is stunning. Thanks so much, Lynette!

Am a lifelong wine drinker, with the occasional whisky and cognac, but did enjoy the beer tour in Copenhagen and would have loved this . . . and certainly loved comparing the windows and the doors you met on your walk . . . thank you!

Between the two of us, Berto is the one who likes beer more … yet the process of making beer is very interesting to me. And it seems like the people of Prague take brewing beer seriously – though I’m not so sure about the beer shampoo 🫣. Beautiful buildings!
