What Makes Our Beer Trail Krumlov Tour Unforgettable?
Your journey begins with a guided tour of a historical brewery. Walk through the old and contemporary brewhouses, marvel at the fermentation and maturation basements, and learn about the intricate process of turning simple ingredients into liquid gold. Of course, no brewery tour is complete without a tasting! We'll treat you to a sample of the local “Krumlov” beer, a testament to the town's brewing legacy. But the adventure doesn't stop there.
We'll take you to local pubs, where you'll embark on a craft beer tasting session. Savor up to 4 unique beer brands, carefully selected from mini-breweries nestled in the picturesque surroundings of Český Krumlov. Experience the diversity of Czech craft beer, from crisp lagers to hoppy ales, each with its own distinct character. This tour isn't just about beer; it's a complete immersion into Czech pub culture, where these flavorful snacks are an essential part of the experience! Taste spicy pickled sausages “Utopenci” or marinated camembert “Nakladany hermelin”.
Na zdraví! “Cheers!”
