This is a follow-up from my previous post about Czech beers. This isn’t so much of a review of quality, but rather of price. Czech beers are cheap. The cheapest I have ever seen. The next beer (after the ones in my previous post) that I had taken any pictures of was a Velkopopovický kozel dark, which was only about 2€ in a restaurant, which is already a great price for a beer in a restaurant or bar.
I unfortunately didn’t actually write down any notes about the beer, so I can’t give an honest review. I do recall liking it, but that’s about all that I can remember unfortunately.

Afterwards, my dad and I mostly bought beer from a grocery story near where we were staying. When we were in Prague, we actually couchsurfed with a couple guys who had a really nice place. We also partied pretty hard with them. I was much too busy drinking to write down notes about the beer, but it was cheap, and all of average or slightly below average quality if I recall correctly. Sometimes you can turn a blind eye to the quality though, and we definitely did in this case. The beer came in 1.5 or 2 liter bottles, with 2 liters being just about half a gallon. We also weren’t buying them individually, we bought 6 packs of 1.5 and 2L bottles. How much did each 6 pack of beer cost? Only about 3 or 4€, which is as much as you would pay for 1 beer at a bar back in Germany or the USA. We were easily getting 24 times as much beer as we would be getting back home. We drank very merrily, consuming much more than we should have.

One of the individual beers I tried before things got too out of hand was a Kozel.Again, no notes, I honestly don’t even recall if I liked it or not. Kind of a cool looking mascot though!

One of the beers that came in 6 packs was the Staropramen Svetly.We tried a few of these, but we mostly stuck to the beers in the background, since they were the ones that came in 2 liter bottles.

And the aforementioned one that we bought the most of was the Branik. Notice how all the bottles in the background are now missing, presumably empty.This was the beer that we drank the most of, a few 6 packs of these over the course of a few nights. Not necessarily the tastiest, but at prices like those, you can’t really complain!

As a general review of all 4 beers listed here, I would have the following to say about them:

Sight: I would say they all looked fine. A clear and light-golden color with a bigger head like a Czech pils normally has, excluding the first beer, which obviously was darker than a pils.

Smell: I can’t say too much about it since I have no notes and can’t recall how they smelt. I would assume like a normal pils.

Taste: Just like my notes on how they smelt, I can’t quite recall, although I do think I recall them not being that tasty (which can be expected when they are so cheap), but they were good enough (and/or cheap enough) that we happily drank quite a bit of them while we were there.

With that, I will end this and I won’t put a real rating, since I lack the sufficient notes and means to do so. The real review though is that Czech beers are dirt cheap! If you want to drink bottles on the dollar, the Czech Republic is the place to go!
