You can still find Pilsner Urquell in the Mix Markets or Mini mix one of them very close to Stade Joseph Marien, but i've only bought them on the ones in Evere and next to Place Jourdan.

Fair warning maybe is the conditioning but they dont taste the same as the Tankovna bars.

Ah bottles (or even cans) are just not the same are they?

Juan C's avatar

No, but they have both, cans and bottles and strangely enough if I remember well cans more expensive than the bottle ones....

This made me very thirsty

I was absolutely hanging.

Another great piece Eoghan. You have me slabbering and thirsty now for a Czech beer. Do you know the real Budweiser too? Keep up the good work man. How many countries left?

Eoghan Walsh's avatar

Love a good Budvar but even rarer than Pilsner Urquell. God, I'd murder an auld biergarten now! 27 down, 21 to go !

James Candon's avatar

Do you know why and how biergartens were invented?

Please don't tell me it has something to do with Nazis

Not at all at all.

Brewed beer needed to be kept cool. The lads in Bavaria and perhaps elsewhere looked at trees and saw water cooling. Dig down and build a heap overhead and plant with trees and you have a cellar that stays cool in the hottest of summers. Seemingly they preferred chestnuts, possibly because their large leaves transpired more moisture than others although I believe beech trees were also popular but we wont talk about Buchenwald so as not to trigger you
