Photos from the first Beer Tour of Europe:

Prague pub

We found this hideaway pub in Prague...didn't want to leave!

"A truly good value for lovers of real beer; worthwhile even for non -beer drinking spouses!"  D. Ferguson -- Ottawa, Ontario

 

 

barrel at Pilsner Urquell

Nectar of the Gods! Fresh, unfiltered Pilsner Urquell tapped straight from the Oak barrel...

"I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about the history of beer, the varieties and also the different countriesvisited". D.Gaunt -- Toronto, Ontario

 Schneider Brewery

Everyday at 5:00 PM sharp, a special keg of dark "Klosterbrau" is ceremoniously tapped at the old Schneider Weizenbier Brewery in the historic centre of Munich .

"A really great tour with a group of great people who all had a common objective...Great Tour--highly recommended to anyone who enjoys the juice of the barley." H. Allely -- Belleville, Ontario

Luitpold brewery

An afternoon excursion brought us to the Luitpold brewery located in the historic Kaltenberg Castle just south of Munich

"We toured a portion of Europe in a very unique  way. By tracing the art of beer-making, from ancient times to modern, we saw the impact upon  the cultures of the various regions. Plus the bonus and best part, we were able to sample the many types and flavours of the beers, each unique to its country and area." G. Swift -- Calgary, Alberta

 

Hurdy Gurdy at Oktoberfest 

The Hurdy Gurdy is alive and well at the Oktoberfest in Munich. The Monkey was reputedly seen quaffing in the Augustiner beer tent next door.

"Incredible voyage of discovery!" B. Simms--Ottawa, Ontario

 

student pub/PragueYouth reclamation at a local student hangout in Prague... we discovered the tavern on an impromptu pub crawl.

"As a first time visitor to Europe, I could not think of a better way to experience the culture. A tour with "fellows" in the real sense,experiencing sights, sounds and tastes with people that have at least one similar passion in common, the love of beer."

Z. Reders--Toronto, Ontario

 Belgium Beer museum
