What would you do if you found that ordering the beer on the menu was cheaper than ordering the water?
Yep that’s my latest dilemma here in Prague, Cz.
Where as Belgium makes the most types of beer, and Germany makes the most quantity of beer, it’s the Czechs that consume the most beer. Each Czech (of all ages) consumes 1.5 liter of beer per day!
And it all started in the neighborhood of Plzen, where making the yellow fizzy stuff spread worldwide. A popular brand here is Budweiser. The Czechs say they had the name first. Many lawyers later, the Czech brand can be sold in Europe, China, and Africa, but in America it’s sold as “Czechvar”.
Only one brand is sold at any one pub, and it’s not common to bar hope. They relate it to being faithful to one woman.
And I’m too cheap, I drink the beer!




The Oktoberfest is a celebration of a marriage that took place long ago (Hapsburg I believe) and was such a success, that they still celebrate it today. 


Moderation…moderation…yeah right! The food has been delicious and photogenic and abundant. AND the staff can’t do enough for us, even turning down our beds and putting a chocolate on our pillows. We haven’t spent much time in the bar because the wine flows in the dining room and the walls are of glass and look out on incredible vistas.


We said our good-byes to Copenhagen: the Little Mermaid, Tivoli ,canal tour, and the Imperial Hotel, but not without a stop at the Carlsberg Brewery Tour! Yum, beer at 10 am!

All business, banks, stores were CLOSED in 
Say “cheeeeeese!”
