Mrtvá Ryba

Mrtvá Beer and drinking is heavily ingrained in Czech social life, with the country consuming an average of 160 liters of beer per person every year. Beer here is measured with degrees, which signify the amount of malt extract used in the brewing process. The most popular is 12 degrees, a regular lager. Lower degree brews have a weaker extract and will be less filling, while higher degrees will have a stronger taste and stronger alcohol percentage.

Not sure where to start? You can’t go wrong with a pilsner, or the most popular brand, Pilsner Urquell. Pilsner Urquell is the biggest brewery in the country and brewed the first Pilsner in history, right here in Bohemian lands. Want to try a Prague based brew? Try a Staropramen, or even take a tour of their brewery right here in the city.

Unsurprisingly, you’ll find Czech food to pair nicely with beer. It is common to find thick soups, sauces, and various stewed meat with bread dumplings across the cuisine.

Grab a bite to eat with your drink for a nice lunchtime spot. Continue walking up the street and then cross the street to the archway to see the Church.
