Zapečený sandwich s gothajem a sýrem ať Výčep Tabor. The best sánguche in Czechia The pifko and the location aren't half bad, either.
My Achilles tendon has been nagging me lately, preventing me from doing my usual beer hikes. But with today's gorgeous weather, I HAD to go for a walk, and Pivovar Prokopák is perfect for this: luvly birrita, mňamdopicí svíčková (esp. the knedlíky) and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Pivní zastávka, mi hospoda de cabecera, where things are always v cajku and la birrita is jako křen
Pivovar Chroust 11 in deputamadre shape today at BIO | OKO, while I wait, wondering what movie they'll show today for OKO NA SLEPO.
I left some pizza dough fermenting in the fridge for almost a week to see what's happen. When I opened the box it smelled like cheap whiskey. The bread I've made with it looks and smell nice though
Nice to be back in Lajka - pivovar a café after an inexplicably long hiatus, and find that Fe, their 8° Grisette, is back on tap, and as beautiful as a warm spring breeze.
I hardly drink at home anymore, but today I was in the right mood for a tipple, and I figured Saturn 2021 by Lajka - pivovar a café could be the right tipple for said mood. What a gorgeous thing! Still very lively but more balanced, and as heart warming as a fond memory from childhood.
Getting a crave for 1860's Sicilan macaroni pie was not on me cards today. A classic like The Leopard can do that for you...
And with this pivíčko al fresco I declare spring officially commenced
I'm very happy with the result of my first go at (mini) baguettes. Made with my pizza dough, they came out lovely
A quiet desítka al (muy) fresco, before the Masopustní merrymaking begins at Únětický pivovar. Bocks shall fall.
Since it's Valentín today, I thought spicy chicken hearts in black beer would be appropriate (and a nice lunch before leaving to Únětický pivovar for Masopust). I picked a can of OSTRAVAR's Černá Barbora for cooking. Really good pivo this is! And it was less than 20 Kačky.
Look what I found in the cupboard! The last bottle of Sigurd, the Norwegian raw ale I brewed (assisting Sigurd, the Kveikman from Kveik Training) in October 2023, at Černokostelecký pivovar. It tastes almost as if it had been brewed a couple of months ago! Beautiful
Fuck me Ježíšek! Kamenická 10° tonight at Zasekávák is bringing memories of Koutská Desítka in the good old days. Otherwise, the atmosphere is, as usual here, very inviting for imbibing.
A food delivery robot spotted today in Prague. I hope the customer isn't too hungry, because that bugger is very slow.
Lajka has a new head brewer. The Stout 11 was his first brew, and it's excellent. Čerstvá Červenka 10 was like a symphony of off flavours. Bohemian 11 was an improvement, with a mild note of stewed veg that would have been much easier to ignore if the hops (kazbek & saturn) had shone as they should.
Bière de Noël 16, by Pivovar Kolkovna does the Belgian thing very well; packed with perníkové koření, while steering well clear of the gimmick. It's served way too cold, though. But that gives you a good excuse to get a velký to sip slowly and let it warm up.
