Bevvy of the Week – Czech Beers, Staropramen and Budvar

Czech Beers – Staropramen and Budvar

 

This week I am going to recommend two beers from The Czech Republic, Staropramen and Budvar.

Now these beer have been around for a while and have been available in to buy in Ireland for a long time. So if you haven’t tried them yet and you want to break away from all that normal branded stuff these beers are a good place to start.

Staropramen is golden in colour with a very nice hoppy aroma and a nice malty taste. It’s crisp with a dry finish. It’s sold on a 500ml bottle and you should pick it up for around €2.

Budvar. There a long story about this beer and their battle with Anheuser Busch, the makers of Budweiser over the name Budweiser. If you get a chance you should look up the story as it makes for some good reading.

Anyway…. back to the beer. It’s similar to Staropramen as it has a rich malty aroma and taste but Budvar has a soft kind of bittersweet finish. Very tasty indeed and you should pick up a bottle for around €2 as well.

Statopramen and Budvar are two great beers to start you off into the beers of the world and I’m sure you will keep coming back to them along the way

Enjoy, Sláinte,

Patrick
