Prague beer festival is one of the fondest memories from my travels. It was situated in an expo like area away from the city centre. Surprisingly, not too many people on the streets know about it and those who attended were mainly locals. Lucky us!
We watched the Champions league finals there too. Eric was supporting Bayern Munich and the czechs surrounding us were mostly Chelsea supporters.
The beer festival had everything to ensure its success. It was free entry (unlike the beer festival in singapore where entry costs a whopping $40.), good live music, fun loving people and lots of good beer. We had to change money to their tokens in order to buy beer. Each beer cost 2 Tolars or 10 crowns or 2sgd. Incredibly affordable. Beer should be matched with sausages and pork knuckle. Each main dish cost 3 tolars and up.
Singer amongst the crowd. The benches was mostly one quarter empty on a saturday evening. The atmosphere was so much better on a friday night. There was alot of dancing infront of the stage. I didn't dance but its my idea of chilling out. Real music and silly dancing beats bobbing around in a club anytime.
The crowd really hammed it up with their sing along. There was some male striptease, snogging and cross dressing going on. Everyone was having good fun and it was enjoyable on the sidelines watching them. We were there on a friday night and saturday evening before leaving for Budapest. No one was rowdy, no fighting or beer mugs crashing.
Girls in tight red dresses arrived and the men got a little frenzied in taking photos.
I love our waitress in her milkmaid costume. Super friendly and nice. The beer was great. Even the blackest beer wasn't bitter. I always order light beer for myself but I got really fond of dark beer by the end of my stay in Czech. We called it 'Kopi Beer'. Its tasted faintly like coffee and was really easy to drink.
