If you like beer, it is more or less impossible to be visiting
Brno and not take a look inside
Pegas. Pegas is both a hotel and a restaurant, but there is also a micro brewery on the premises.
I entered Pegas in the late afternoon, and the place was already packed. There was an available chair at a table, and I asked the couple sitting there if I could sit down.
Well placed in Pegas, I just enjoyed the atmosphere with people enjoying themselves and having fun. I decided to join in on the fun and ordered a pint of Pegas' own svetly lezak, pale lager. Also available was a weizen beer, a dark lager and a strong pale lager called Pegas Gold.
I had decided not to do any tasting notes at Pegas, but just sampling the beers. Well, I did not get very far. The pale lager was so good that I just continued drinking it for the next hours. It was a tasty brew with some carbonation and a large, lasting head. A great beer!
Before I had to head to the Brno railway station again, I felt that I had to try another beer. I decided to try the weizen, as I needed something different than lager. The wheat beer was cloudy and served with a slice of lemon. I felt the lemon slice was unneccessary, but I liked the citrus notes in the beer. But I never found out if the citrus was only from the slice or you could find it in the beer itself.
Pegas was a very nice restaurant, and I enjoyed every moment there. A return to Brno is not in my immediate plans, but if I do I will visit Pegas once again.
The best brewpub in Brno is Pegas. That is what the guide books I have been reading say, and I can not tell anything else. Pegas is the only brewpub I have visited in the Moravian city.
Pegas is both a hotel, a brewery and a beer hall. As a beer hall it is perfect with a great interior. As a brewery I am really impressed. The beers brewed at Pegas have a great reputation, and the ones I have tasted have been very good.
I visited Pegas two years ago and I had a wonderful time. This revisit to Pegas was just as fun. First I tried the pale lager, Světlý Ležák. It was still great. This is a cloudy beer with nearly no carbonation and a large head. In the nose yeast take the lead. In the mouth this is a wonderful beer with traces of yeast, lemon and hops before a fruity finish. This is an extraordinary beer that is to be recommended!
But there are more beers available at Pegas. On the table the beer menu said that I could also have a dark lager, a wheat beer and Pegas Gold. The latter is a stronger pale lager. I chose none of them.
On a poster I found Pegas also offered another beer called Pegas Březňák. I tried that beer instead.
Pegas Březňák was another cloudy pale lager. In the glass it had nearly no carbonation and a medium sized head. The beer was fruity before a semi bitter finish. It was lovely, but I preferred the ordinary Světlý Ležák at Pegas.
If you go to Brno, Pegas is a must. This is a wonderful brewpub with excellent beers and a nice atmosphere. It is to be recommended!
