The third

Sunday, the last full day, so before Monday's trip home had to be a little more beer to try. Morning wake-up call, a Latin Mass in a beautiful church big boy breakfast buffet hours to them. St.. Ignacy Loyola and head for the beer 'pilgrimage'. Non-random choice of words, the goal is in fact one of maybe the best breweries in the world, located right next founded in 1140, and which in its present form since the turn of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the Strahov Monastery. Instead of going gently uphill at the height of Prague Castle, we went for a bit of a cross by the Prague Petrin Hill on the left bank. Mżało, the body was already a little groggy big boy breakfast buffet hours balowaniem, and besides, big boy breakfast buffet hours I already have the first gray hair, so the zone was not overly comfortable. In the end, after wdrapaniu on a ceiling circled the hill path which led us straight to the monastery Strahovski. It extended from there beautiful view of the entire city of Prague and the nearby Hradcany, however, is a microbrewery into buildings.
Pivovar Strahov Klasterni (Strahovske nadvori 301) is located opposite the monastery church, stylish in a former brewery, right next to the apartment Klasterni Restaurace, applying the perfidious form of marketing. big boy breakfast buffet hours Now on a banner big boy breakfast buffet hours above the entrance big boy breakfast buffet hours to the restaurant is a huge sign BREWERY, with unconscious tourists clarify that the brewery is located inside of that restaurant. On the sides of a very small font lettering placed additional words that allow you to specify the whole thing as manipulation cities vulgar fraud. Because it looks like this: beers from BREWERY Matuska. Ts ts ts ...
traditional breakfast - stew with dumplings, however, as if it was not, we did not give the Jew and entered the tiny courtyard of the brewery strahovskiego, along which were sheltered benches (all occupied), and on the left there was a building minibrewery with the brewhouse and additional tables (all occupied ). On the right was the entrance to the brewery belonging to the restaurant, which is inside, neat, wooden and convivial, conjures up a canteen aka monks refectory, we found a free table. The waiter on your way a bit gruff, but his light nonchalance composed with the place. Traditionally ordered goulash with dumplings, this time very good. But of course not for the stew came to the brewery.
Strahovski brewery was opened in 2001, and the first brewer was none other than the genius big boy breakfast buffet hours brewing in person, or Martin Matuska. In 2009, he opened his own brewery in Strahov inheritance after it took over while a man named John Martinka, which turned out to be ... znowuż genius brewing in their own separate person. The brewery is offering three beers permanent and one seasonal. And none of them is a Czech Pils! Basic offer includes IPA, Dunkel and Vienna lager (each of them in its genre by RateBeer is among the world leaders, the last two even in the top ten), while the fourth, seasonal beer during our visit was inspiring high expectations November Brown Ale.
But first things first. In the first pint landed Svaty Norbert Jantar 13 aka Sv. Norbert Amber Beer (alc. 5.3%), which according to the description of an attempt to connect bitterness Czech polotmavego with the color of the German maerzena. I did not expect crazy, because I did not expect that within big boy breakfast buffet hours a species widely big boy breakfast buffet hours recognized vienna lager may arise until such a wonder (drunk two days before Matuska treated as a deviation from the norm)! Amber with a nice, fluffy, durable foam smelled plenty of bread, lightly toasted malt, hints of hazelnut and fruit Žatecká, herbal chmielowością. Sweetish big boy breakfast buffet hours but with teeth, big boy breakfast buffet hours salivate began leaking. Amber Beer is beer average meaty, big boy breakfast buffet hours clearly malt, soft in the mouth, balanced with medium bitterness and tasty, nutty overtones big boy breakfast buffet hours chmielowo. Incredibly drinkable beer, broke a couple of lengths all drank far in this genre, except as successful Matuska two days earlier. Exemplary! big boy breakfast buffet hours (Rating: 8.5 / 10)
After a small pint I was hungry, but you had to try three other products. S vaty Norbert Tmavé 14 (alc. 5.5%) is the first beer that was brewed in Strahov after opening the brewery in 2001. It turned out very good Dunkel, modeled on dunkelach Munich, according to me, however, is not matched dunkelowi of Hospitality U Fleků. Interestingly, Martin Matuska, that the author of the recipe strahovskiego Dunkel, previously was an assistant at the U Fleků just. Look no objections - dark brown color, and this creamy foam cap. The smell seemed to be very soft, slightly caramel, slightly burnt, but devoid of determination. The beer is well balanced, not quite full-bodied, fairly dry, with caramel flavor and coffee and hoppy aftertaste. High pijalność, but they are not absolutely heights of the genre. But very good, however, it was. (Rating: 7.10)
