The Czech Republic is the true beer paradise. Centuries of tradition, constant passionate care and ideal agricultural conditions for hops, guarantee the best brewing results. Chronicles place their cultivation in Bohemia as early as 859 A.D., while the first evidence of their export dates back to 903. Bohemian hops were so prized that King Wenceslas ordered the death penalty for anyone caught exporting the cuttings, from which new plants could be grown. Only citizens in the Czech lands had the right to brew beer - and that for their own consumption - so most citizens had a micro brewery in their home and the tradition spread. The Czech Republic is now No. 1 beer drinking nation on the planet, with an annual per capita consumption of some 156 litres of a stunning variety of pale, amber and dark lagers. Full-bodied, unfiltered, malty and with those lovely Czech hops much in evidence.: beer culture is not about drinking alcohol, is a matter of tradition and a playful social event !
