The Birthplace of Pilsner: A Revolutionary Beer

In 1842, the Pilsner Urquell Brewery in Pilsen introduced a beer that would change the world: the first-ever pale lager. At a time when dark ales and stouts dominated the beer scene, this golden beer stood out as a revelation. Its crisp taste, balanced bitterness, and exceptional clarity quickly earned it international acclaim, setting the standard for lagers worldwide.

During your visit, you’ll explore the historic and modern brewhouses, where the magic happens.

A highlight of the tour is the newly renovated cinema, where you’ll watch the story of how this revolutionary beer came to life and established a new beer category that remains popular to this day.
