Prague is a fantastic place in December. The snow makes the city even more attractive, and the Christmas markets are fun to watch. In addition to this you can treat yourself to some mulled wine, hot food or a beer or two.
I had some time to spare, so I jumped on tram number 11 to Sporilov. At the terminus you can find the
Prvni Pivni Tramway pub.
It is nearly two years since
my last visit to Prvni Pivni Tramway. Pilsner Urquell is still available together with Primator's wheat beer. In addition to this, there is a rotating tap system, where several smaller Czech breweries are represented.
The pub has a tram theme. Inside it you can find old tram seats, and there is even a tram bell at the bar. The men's room is special, and the artwork on the walls is one of a kind.
The day I visited I chose Kocour's rauchbier. The other offers from draught were Chotebor's Premium and Svijany's Maz, which were beers I ended up drinking later during this visit to the Czech Republic.
The rauchbier was the first I tasted from the Kocour brewery. It was a nice beer with scents of mackerel and a interesting taste where smoked ham took the lead with some malts and a hint of hops. I liked this beer, and it is the first smoked beer that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Prvni Pivni Tramway had few guests the afternoon I was there. Last time around it was packed, and the pub had a great atmosphere. It was a pity that I had to move on, as I felt like drinking more rauchbier. But there is always next time, isn't it?

Gotta go for a visit then. But next time you're here don't forget to head over at the Prague Beer Museum: 30 beers on tap! A beer lover shouldn't miss it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, Come to Prague. I have heard of the Beer Museum, but I had no time to visit it during my visit to the Czech Republic this month.
ReplyDeleteThere will be more posts from Prague coming up, by the way.
