Did you know that the Pilsner Urquell tour is one of the world’s best rated tourist attractions?
It’s no wonder, because the tour is full of interesting facts which will impress even very demanding visitors. History lovers will be impressed by the the brew house from the 1930s and the historical cellars, where Pilsner Urquell beer is still produced today using the same traditional method as during the era of the first brewer.
Are you mainly interested in how Pilsner Urquell beer is brewed?
We will explain the unique method of brewing Pilsner Urquell beer, which is identical to the method introduced in 1842 by Josef Groll. You can have a look at the new bottling facility, which can handle 120,000 bottles per hour, and the “heart of the brewery”, a modern brewing facility from 2004.
Experience the unique atmosphere of the historic beer cellars. You will view the spillage tubs and learn what a "beer blanket" is. The <strong>Pilsner Urquell brewery</strong> still today produces a small amount of Pilsner Urquell beer here using the traditional method from the era of the first brewer, Josef Groll, which involves fermentation in open wooden vats and maturing in oak lager casks.
You will be invited to taste unfiltered and unpasteurised Pilsner Urquell beer at the end of the tour (for adults only). In the lager cellars, you will be able to taste unfiltered and unpasteurised Pilsner Urquell beer tapped directly from an oak lager cask. You can taste this unique unfiltered and unpasteurised Pilsner Urquell beer only during the tour of the brewery or during programmes in the šalanda relaxation areas.
We look forward to seeing you in Pilsen, the city of beer.
