draft beer from a pub can take 3 forms 1. ( Hladinka ) Level - It is the most common, in the Czech Republic and in Central Europe, the only honest way to draft beer. The result is a full pint of beer with foam on the surface. Each type of beer is recommended to be tapped for a certain number of so-called drafts (for example, Pilsen beer should be tapped for one draft). 2. ( Mlíko ) Milk - There is more foam in a pint than beer after being tapped. It is said to be characterized by a less bitter taste, which makes it more popular with women than with men. In the Czech Republic as well as in German countries, such a taping of beer is considered dishonesty by the tapman. 3. ( Šnyt ) Shnyt - It is characterized by a smaller proportion of beer and a larger proportion of foam. Some taprooms state that a properly tapped pint contains 2 fingers' width of beer, 3 fingers' width of foam, and 1 finger's width of air on top. and yes, I copied it from the Czech version of Wikipedia and ran it through the translator.

[@vitdostal4116]

To be fair as a Czech I even had to Google what Praga is 😂 Never heard of it before. I found out it should belong to the Litovel brewery which is kind of meh... So totally agree with the scores 😀 Anyway the foam is not for a cool factor but for conservation. The longer it sits without foam the worse the taste gets.

[@lordoflams]

Tbh litovel is good. But there is always someone higher who tells breweries to brew cheap shit beer by different brand and sell it to tourists or old/poor ppl

[@Kid_Naps]

foam protects the beer from oxidation and therefore prevents from chemical reaction that ruins the taste

[@lordoflams]

I’m from Romania and we have the beer ‘Praga’ in every supermarket and it’s advertised as being the best beer in Czech Republic and original and with tradition and so on :) it’s a coincidence that ‘Prague’ in romanian is translated as ‘Praga’. Anyway, I never found this beer in Czech Republic. It’s not a very good beer.

4. (Čochtan) Chohtan - Beer on tap in 'American' or 'British' style with almost no foam. Beer is very refreshing and ideal for quenching thirst. You just have to drink it as quickly as possible, because without foam, the beer is very quickly contaminated by air and loses its taste. This style of beer is not popular in classic Czech pubs, but it is preferred in buffets near swimming pools or at railway stations, simply where the customer is in a hurry and wants to enjoy and drink the beer quickly.

[@Nikioko]

When I was at Plzeňský Prazdroj brewery, I drank Urquell directly from the barrel, unfiltered. It was an explosion of flavour.

[@missfit1536]

So I guess you are more of a lager type of persons, because Budvar/Budweiser is a Lager brewtype (more sweet) and the Praga and the Pilsner Urquell are Pilsner brewtypes wich is more bitter/herb/sharp. Thats a crucial characteristic of a Pilsner. If you drink this more often then you will surely develop a taste for it because its more refreshing especially when served cold enough. Prost from Nuremberg, Frankonia, Germany 🍻 Love your Videos! Keep it up 😊

[@paradoxofgodexisting]

Its really night and day for me... I love even some basic cheeper beer, but i cant stand Budvar and Pilsner Urquell is a 12/10 for me. So weird how different our taste preferences can be, the diversity is a blessing in that sense. In my country (Serbia), we have a well known saying "O ukusima ne treba raspravljati", which means "We should not debate the taste."

[@missfit1536]

We have the same saying in germany 😊👍🏼

[@StianEilertsen]

Alle three of them are lagers. Urquell is a pilsner type of lager. Budvar Original is lager but not a pilser, it is more like a German Helles. Urquell has proper bitterness and a fantastic balance. Budvar brewery decided to make a pilsner beer and came out with Budvar 33, which is for me much better than the Budvar Original.

[@darkredvan]

As a German I love Pilsner Urquell. Pilsner (or short: Pils) is a kind of beer brewed in the same fashion as Pilsner Urquell (which was the first of that kind). Pils (or Pilsner type beers) is the most common one in Germany. Every large (nationwide) brewery has at least one Pils on sale. The main beers you can buy in Germany are Pilsen kind, though other styles are brewed and sold as well. Heavy hopsed ones take some times to get used to. BTW Pilsen kind of beers need to be drunk really cold (and you have to be careful to pour it along the side of the glass - held tilted - and the foam is only half of what you get if just let it run down). Czechvar is a Lager beer in contrast to Pilsner Urquell. The first is a little „softer“, the latter has more bitterness. (Most women do like the softer kind, Pils are not their favorites.) But in the end it is just a matter of taste.

[@DecisionPlay]

My man! Pilsner all the way! Cheers from Czechia🍻

[@darkredvan]

@@DecisionPlay Cheers from Germany! Though I tried different types of beer several times, like Weizen, Kölsch, Alt, Bock, Schwarzbier and several others - I always got back to a Pilsener style one. There are several nice Lagers, but well, in the end they lack a bit. There are so many Pilsener style beers to choose from, good ones and not so good ones. Pilsener Urquell is one of the best, but of course there are many other good ones too. I like the ones that are smooth and light on the tongue, with a light bitterness lingering behind. It is one sign of a good Pils that the bitterness is not too hard or too harsh. 👍

[@stanislavsotola9901]

Did you know that Pilsner Urquell is originally a German recipe? The "chef" was invited from Bavaria to brew a beer of the classic Bavarian type. But our soft water and high-quality hops from Žatec made the beer taste completely different and people liked it immediately.

[@StianEilertsen]

Urquell is for sure a lager as well, but Czechvar is a not a pilsner beer, but more like a German Helles. Try the Budvar 33, that is a proper pilsner beer.

Na zdraví from Czech Republic. Budvar is great beer from Budějovice that has its history. Ownd by state. Samson is also beer from Budějovice with even longer history, that if they'd wanna - they'd might be rightful chalenger for Budweiser stamp to Budvar, if they'd stayed with original recepture, which they don't. Also they are American owned. Pilsner Urquelle - the original Pills is great beer from Plzeň that also has great history. Owned now by some japanese or whatever company, but stayed with original recepture to keep Pilsner Urqurelle you may say quality stamp. Best one is poured one in pub. :) Praga is some licenced export crap made who knows where owned by who knows who. BTW density and amount of fome on quality beer depends on cleannes and temperatire of glass and on temperature of beer. Also on how you pour it - from high or slowly on the glass. How much foam you have on beer also changes its carbonation and taste, therefore we have several different types of pouring in pubs: 1) Hladinka - Level - poured all at once, foam first beer under it - four fingers of beer two fingers of foam. - quite a lot carbonated pour. 2) Nadvakrát - Twice poured with pause - visually almost same as hladinka, less carbonated. 3) Šnyt - small beer in big glass - two fingers of beer, 3 fingers of foam, and on finger empty - again more foam less carbonation. 4) Mlíko - milk - just foam - next to no carbonation - refresher beer 5) Čochtan - just beer with no foam - british pour - highly carbonated - pisswater for us. 6) Řezané - cutted - special mix of dark and light beer one on top of the other - need skilled bartender to make it right. Taste is also about in what container is the beer distributed. My personal favourites are: On tap - Pilsner Urquelle. I do not like it from bottle or can, but it is just made for tap. Form glass bottle - Kozel 10° - My favourite beer to garden party. From aluminium can - Kozel 11° - my second favourite to garden party. From plastic 2l bottle - Březňák. (Crappy beer in general but made for frappy plastic bottles - it is better from plastic than otherwise better beers) - My favourite for trips when you know you cannot keep good quality beer, but you do not want cheap pisswater.

19:37 The foam turns to beer as it is a beer. :) The foam isn't just for the looks but it prevents the liquid from oxidizing and thus keeping the desired taste for longer.

[@Bierzgal]

You can indeed drink the foam. In the Czech Republic you can buy something that is called “Mliko” (Milk) in the pub and it’s pretty much 95% foam. It’s definitely a unique experience. Depeneding on the amount of foam it will have a different name when you order it. So from the most foam to the least it’s: Mliko (95% foam) / Snyt (60% foam) / Hladinka (40% foam) / Cochtan (0% foam). Personally I think Hladinka is perfect for me. Here in Poland we like Czech beers quite a lot. I think one that is definitely worth checking out is “Kozel”. Especially the dark one. “Zlaty Bazant” and maybe “Zatecky” are also very good from the ones we have access to here. I’d love to send you guys some beers from Poland but the shipping cost to the US would be like $150 for the courier alone which is a bit too much for me right now :(. And I’m not 100% if it’s even legal to send alcohol. I’d have to read on it. PS. The mancave was AWESOME. And very neat and orderly aswell. Collections like these are usually a big mess. But not here. Respect.

Czechvar is "light" beer, easy to drink. Pilsner is mass produced premium beer and it is supposed to be served with food. It tastes best after some heavy food. Classic is Duck and dumplings with cabbage. All beers should be cold. Not ice cold but cold. Those another beers, I have no idea what they are. All beers should have a foam cap. If not, you are doing it wrong and it will has too many bubbles inside and those will go out in your stomach. You do not want that. Foam cap looks good and protect the beer during the long conversation in a pub.

Our most popular beer in the Czech Republic is Pilsner Urquell. It is definitely worth having it fresh and on tap from a bartender who has a certificate for pouring Pilsner. Another thing about the foam, we can serve beer in 4 ways, namely: "Čochtan". Beer on tap with almost no foam. Čochtan is very refreshing and ideal for quenching thirst. "Mlíko" The purpose is to fill the glass to the brim with beer, creamy to creamy foam that is drinkable and full of beer, at first glance resembling a glass of milk. Hence its name. The spell takes effect if drunk immediately after tapping. Beer tapped in this way seems to taste sweeter. "Šnyt" It originated in the days when tapmen tested the quality of beer in the cellars before each new keg was tapped. It's actually a small pint of beer. The beer has a rich foam and at the same time retains all its best qualities. A very popular way of drinking beer for connoisseurs. "Hladinka". The level is a very widespread style of tenoning. It is the simplest and the most gentle on beer. It is a fast way of tapping, where the beer is tapped in one go. In this way, it will retain its unique sharpness and freshness. Beer brewed without foam is considered bland in our country, it is often the case with lagers, which is a less common type of beer that Czechs like to consume. Enjoy it, Cheers.

In Czech bars and for bottled beers, the server will often swiftly upend a bottle into the glass and just let it glug until the glass is almost full of froth, then stop pouring. This is NOT sloppy service but quite deliberate! You end up with the beer degassing (making all of that froth) in the glass and not in your stomach. This means that you are actually able to consume more beer, which is great news for the bar owner!

Pilsner is very hoppy. Refreshing bitter taste, especially great in the summertime. Budvar is a more balanced beer, more suitable for average taste. You can also get some beers that are more on the malt side, for those that prefer the malty tastes of beer. People tend to forget that beer is just as varied as wine. You can get various taste profiles in both, all based on your personal taste.

[@AttilaVilassy]

You should come to the Czech Republic and try one draft. There's literally a school for innkeepers on how to pour a beer properly here. The glass is properly cold, beer is poured properly from a tank... It's a completely different experience then from a bottle or a can. EDIT: Also having a foam protects your beer from dirt and debris falling into it. It just lands on the foam. You are supposed to drink your half-litre beer in 7 to 15 minutes.

[@smokeflypaperCZE]

@13:54 The Samson Original Czech Lager Bock is a "special beer". The others are pilseners, you can't compare it to a "Bock beer" (original 'invented' in Einbeck, Germany. (Hence the name)).👴😉

[@xXTheoLinuxXx]

Indeed.. Bock beer is a different kind of beer. It's kind of beer you drink next to a fireplace in the fall, not just as a quick drink with some friends.

[@marty6945]

The current retail price of the Pilsner Urquell in can which you are holding in your hand is 1.3-1.5 USD in the Czech Republic in 2024. 1.1 USD is usually the sale price (offer) of the chain stores. In Germany, this beer is sometimes offered for 68 cents in a bottle (special offer)😊 It is also good to know that in the Czech Republic the same domestic beers are cheaper in glass bottles than in cans.

[@neroduren5513]

I had to laugh when i saw your trouble with opening the beer bottle 😀(In Czechia) We use a variety of objects for this, like: lighter, spoon, keys, ring, another bottle of beer and whatever we have at hand ... nothing will stop our alcoholism 😀

Hi beertesters, I am a swedish man who loves beers and for a couple of years ago I visited USA and ofcourse I tested some beer. I did not fancy your Budviser, actually quite disaponted but I found another one I think the name was San Fransisco Steam Beer or similar, very tasty in my opinion. Have you tested Belgium beer, if not do! Actually many Swedish beers are also tasteful! Skål! 😜

[@bigoz1977]

That man cave is brilliant! So many different things, very eclectic taste lol

[@CzechTennisGuy]

Hi IWrocker, I'm from the Czech Republic, Budweis - České Budějovice where Budweiser and Samson are made. The Budweiser is a sweeter lager. They also started making a bitter version which is called simply "33", because it is 33 on the IBU biterness scale. Samson is very good, but you should get the regular export lager, not the Bock. The bock is too strong and very specific in taste. And finally the Pilsner Urquell - the first lager beer ever made on planet Earth. It's the best Czech beery, the most premium and the most expensive one. And it's probably the only beerI that is wildly recommended drinking by doctors for it's health benefits. I love it's mild taste, yet bitter and very easy to drink. It's only 4.4% so it actually shouldn't be called a lager, but it got an exception from the state because it is so unique and so known around the world. We have many many more beer. I recommend trying Kozel, Radegast, Gambrinus, Staropramen etc. and we have probably hundreds of smaller breweries that make fantastic local beer without pasterization so it is super fresh. And if you visit Czech Rep., you can get there a special Budweiser from a tank which is called "Kroužek" (Circle). It's very fresh and unique. I really enjoy your passion for Czech cars and Czech beer. Good luck with your channel journey! Cheers🍻

[@Thunder1976NL]

Exactly, I did not liked that guy. Downing it and then immediately spitting some numbers to rate it. Doesn't matter if these numbers are good or bad, they're irrelevant. And obviously these numbers bad, because Ian did not bought the best beers, heck not even good beers. Me, as Czech I never heard of Praga or Samson. but I guess there is not much to chose from

[@dabartos4713]

why not? It's a tasting let the man taste. Imagine he spat every sip into a glass kitchenware if you need to.

[@JanHurych]

It looks warm. That's why the foam is coming out from that Praga (which I never ever have seen in czechia). It's probably renamed again.

[@JanHurych]

Also, the Samson is is brewed in the same city as the Budweiser, so you better check where it was brewed, because if not there, it's probably some licenced crap and that's why it sucks. And I don't mind Samson here. The license brewing sucks. I had Heineken from tap in Netherlands, and it was nice. I had it at home, brewed under licence in Krušovice, and it sucks balls.

Drinking in good bars in Prague, you get offered Dark or Light versions of their house beer, that's it. The light is like a Pilsner or even a Helles. The dark is like a German Dunkel or a British Scotch, malty and often yeasty. Brought to your table in glass mugs and served with a flourish and a bit of a table slide. Always plenty head and tons of life in the glass. Gorgeous stuff!!

[@kostik0590]

It's not a bad beer, but a different beer .

[@Inflaton2]

The crazy thing is that the best Budweiser on earth you can get is in “Schweizerhaus” in Vienna! It is the biggest buyer of the Budweiser Brewery in the entire World. This Restaurant with a large beer garden located in the heart of Austrians capital sells about 25000 beers a day in summer.

When it comes to local prices, only pilsner and budvar are sold in CZ. The other 2 are export beer brands and these are in general not very good. That said, the Budvar is around 60-80 cents and pilsner around 1-1.5 USD, if you buy it in store. At pubs the prices are between 2-3 USD.

[@HeavymetalTheRealOne]

yes kozel 11 is top if u can find that one

[@planco]

Foam is great! In fact when you order Pilsner from the tap, you can have it 3 ways: -Hladinka english level/surface - it full glass poured in one go with one and half inch of foam -Snyt I cant translate that - its about 1/3 of beer and rest is foam, I was told you order it when you want small beer,BUT man never order small beer, so you order snyt :D -Mlieko english milk - its glass of foam from top to bottom And to have Pilsner the right way, they always use cold glass. In many pubs they have special ,,pool,, of cold water where they store beer glass. Here is short vid kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5W5Yoxmra54aM0, he pours hladinka, mlieko, snyt and something I never heard of.

[@darkiee69]

About the Pragha: Chill it properly (44°f), and save it for a hot summer day. Then you'll give it at least a 7.

[@PhilipStark-v3k]

Schlitz is back on the market but currently only available in 4 states. Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. It is head and shoulders better than many domestic beers. Schaeffer was the toilet water often confused with Schlitz.

[@ondrejvanasek8381]

Foam on beer is for protection of beer taste. So thats why in Czech, tap beer have quiet a big portion of foam.

[@WelsyCZ]

Specifically, the foam (also called the head) prevents oxidation of the beer, which makes the beer taste worse and its not desired. We do not want to be chugging our beers however, so thats why the foam is present. And contrary to belief of many, the foam isnt waste - its also beer. If you pour a proper beer with foam and let it sit until the foam dissipates, the level of beer will go up.

[@gustavmeyrink_2.0]

I tried to explain that to a guy in the UK once where a pint glass (568ml) holds exactly 1 pint when filled to the top. He argued that with a head he would get less beer but in Germany (I assume this might be the same in Czech Republic) a beer glass is marked about one fifth of the way down. Up to tat mark it has to be beer and the space above is for the head so you do get exact amount of beer you pay for and the protective head. My dad also taught me that if I order a draft beer in Germany and it arrives in under 5 to 8 minutes I should go and find a better pub.

[@WelsyCZ]

@@gustavmeyrink_2.0 That 5 to 8 minute thing is pretty controversial, its not true in my opinion. Good bartender (výčepní) will know how to pour a proper beer based on the type, brand and desired pour. There are quite a few techniques, some prefer a 1time pour (all in one), some do a 2time pour (one pour, wait for a bit of the head to dissipate and finish it off), some even do a 3time pour. But thats just details and most people outside the beer countries wont even be able to tell the difference.

[@gustavmeyrink_2.0]

@@WelsyCZ First pour is always nothing but head which then needs to settle before being topped up a few times until the required amount of beer is in the glass. Needs topping up 3 to 4 times. Never really seen any other way, not even from the 50L keg we had on my 18th unless you create a lot of wastage in the name of speed.

[@WelsyCZ]

That is really not true for all beers. A decent Pilsner Urquell pour can be done within 10 seconds, no need of topping off.@@gustavmeyrink_2.0

For you Chicago enthusiasts out there: There was a Czech mayor of Chicago 90 years ago… Anton Joseph Cermak (Czech: Antonín Josef Čermák, pronounced [ˈantoɲiːn ˈjozɛf ˈtʃɛrmaːk]; May 9, 1873 - March 6, 1933) was an American politician who served as the 44th mayor of Chicago, Illinois, from April 7, 1931, until his assassination in 1933.

I agree, no real mancave is completed, always growing, or keeps going better. And it was good to see bows and arrows, too. Nice video! And yes, Pilsner Urquelle is ok, amongst others, though I'm drinking Staropramen Praha right now. Just because it's the best for me. Cheers from Hungary!

[@davidvrtel7113]

Surface of the glass contributes to the foaminess during pour, that's why you see different results.

[@nukegamer5750]

Also never heard of Praga or Samson :) Pilsner is the most frequent beer for us Czechs to recommend to foreigners just because it's a good all-arounder, when you don't really know what you prefer. I personally wouldn't say that it's the best in taste, color, etc... But it does everything really well. I would love you to try Radegast 12 though haha. Known for it's bitterness, I guess that would be an interesting experience :)

[@spineal]

Yea! But if they like Czechvar (Budvar) they would propably like Staropramen more. The best for me is Radegast 12

[@adamjarkovsky1952]

Hi from Czech Republic! :) I am really glad you like it :) It's interesting that I don't know Praga beer and neither does Samson beer :D But if I can recommend a beer from the Czech Republic. Try to get "Svijans". Specifically Svijanský Máz (11°)

Pilsner Urquell is the 1st pilsner beer ever made. Budvar is probably the smoothest beer I ever tasted. Samson is is owned by Anheiser Bush.

[@danielvlk140]

Someone already mentioned it but I will also try to quickly sum um the foam problem. Czech beer is not usually served half-foam, half-beer. Usually we drink it so that maybe one fifth of the glass is foamy. However, the preference may vary with person and mood. Also, you can definitely drink foam in czech beers. Although to have a good foam-beer (mlíko or milk in english), you would need a tap to tap the beer from. Altogether, any beer is much better from tap. That is why Czech people usually drink beer casually from a bottle, but if they want to really have a gourmet experience, they go to a local pub with very clean glasses and pipes and to someone who can pour beer properly. It really changes the taste a lot.

Lots of foam is the basis of our beer THX for video and greetings from Czech Republic I saw PRAGA BEER for first time 😀

[@Vladimir-vv7er]

As someone, who live in Czech republic, I am very happy to see videos like this. I love beer and i have tryed lot of beers after 31years of life. If I can recommend you, try Radegast 12° , or Radegast Ratar, or 10° . For me, it's best beer from czech republic. But be prepared for lot of bitterness

🤣 As a Czech myself, I appreciate your dedication 😂

For the prices, you can get a bottle of beer in supermarket for 10-12 czk when its at sale so 0.5 USD. Now u pay also for the bottle but u can return the bottle in any supermarket after u drink it and they give you change for the bottle back.

[@adamdvorak5437]

There is actually a lot more breweies you can find only in Czech Republic, a lot of times even only in some regions of the country so I would recommend some time to travel around here for a bit. There's not only good beers but also really nice places to visit.

Man you really need to go here for holiday and try the fresh draft ones from pub there, also maybe try to visit some brewery here? Its always nice experience and im pretty sure you can find ones with english guide so you can even learn something about the history of beer. Also dont worry about language everyone here speaks english so you will have no problems with communication (only with old people maybe like 60+ :D)

[@novh4ck]

Your original Budweiser video made me to finally try drinking beer. I am a 29 year old Czech but I am also quite sensitive to bitter taste so I never really liked beer. I made a tier list and so far my taste buds liked Bernard 12° the most at 8/10. I gave Pilsner 6/10 and Budweiser 5/10 (mostly because I drank it first and put it in the middle on purpose). It's fun to virtually join you guys. You can consider yourself a proper influencer now. 😁

​@@IWrocker For sure! I really wonder what you guys would say about Kofola. It's a traditional Czech cola drink with a sort of herbal undertones and Czechs are extremely passionate about it. I would even say more than about beer. To insult Kofola is the fastest way to lose a Czech friend. Fortunately my US friend absolutely loves it and every time he visits he then leaves with a couple of Kofola bottles in his checked luggage. 😅

Don't like bitter, then try Hell or Dunkel, avoid any Pilsner, they are extra bitter hopped. My three favorite low bitter are currently, Fishers spezial hell, Andechs Dunkel Export and Huber Weisse Kristall.

If you wanted to know, how much some of thee beers cost in the Czech Republic, supermarket price for Pilsner is around $1.50 and Budweiser $1.1; I haven't find Samson and Praga is a small brewery that does only export (they don't sell on Czech market and I think they are bit of a tourist trap).

After seeing the mancave-footage, a couple of questions: - what's the story with the backwards shooting gun? - why is buying Lucky Strikes cigarettes difficult? They are for sale everywhere here in Netherlands, I could get a pack in 5 minutes, no problem? I, myself, am a collector of sorts, styling my living room with durable everyday used historic machines. I got a working pinball-machine and a jukebox, next to an old gas-meter and a T65, a spinning number telephone. I love these collections, if I lived in a bigger house, I probably end up with a similar museum-mancave, very cool.

Czech Beer is the oldest known beer in Europe and thus the best in Europe. My experience with Pilsner Urquel is buying it cold and drinking it with the whole six pack out. The closer the remaining bottles get to room temp, the better tasting.
