Czechs in History A visit to Prague's famous U Fleku Brewery and Pub
Today's edition of Czechs in History is dedicated to beer lovers. Historically Bohemia has a long tradition of brewing beer, and one hundred years ago there were dozens of small brewing houses throughout the country, the majority of which no longer exist. But there's one that continues even today, a renowned pub and brewery called U Fleku, where you can get a taste of days gone by. In existence since 1499, it is safe to say this pub is a must for any visitor to the Czech capital, and for any beer drinker worth his salt. And if brewing beer for more than 500 years seems incredible to you, and it should - keep listening. We'll be taking a tour of the pub's famous premises and sharing a pint with U Fleku's maltster, a master brewer who'll tell you a thing or two about the delicious dark lager he watches over. Perhaps even you will find yourself thirsting for a glass by the end of today's programme.
