Welcome to Episode 062 of my “Travel Tales From Beyond The Brochure” podcast.
This episode, the first after my unexpected and unplanned hiatus, will be all about beer. Specifically, I talk about my Press Trip to Plsen in Czechia, where I spent 3½ days drinking beer for free, including touring a few breweries both large and small. This Press Trip was taken through the Traverse Organisation and in conjunction with VisitCZ, the Plsen Region, and Visit Plsen.
A longer overview of beer, not just Czech beer, takes place on my subsequent podcast.
Topics discussed in this episode are:
- What I’ve been doing since my last podcast
- Overview of the city of Plsen
- The underground caves and beer museum – Plsen is literally built on beer
- Different ways of serving beer in Czechia
- A tour of the Pilsner Urquell brewery
- Visits to microbreweries in Plsen: Proud, Raven, Purkmistr
- Trip to Zlata Krava brewery in Nepomuk
- How it felt to visit a beer spa
