Get to know the unique story of Pilsner Urquell

Get acquainted with the history of the beer that changed the world – Pilsner Urquell, the first golden lager, which saw the light of day in 1842. It became popular mainly thanks to its typical full-bodied taste. Pilsner Urquell is still brewed using the same high quality Czech ingredients and the same original process. The original recipe has never changed, and that´s why our lager is unique. Take the tour of the Pilsner Urquell Brewery and find out more about how Pilsner Urquell is brewed. Visit the historical cellars and the packaging plant, get a closer look at the brewing process, and taste the beer at the end of the tour. The tour of the Pilsner Urquell Brewery will impress true beer lovers as well as visitors with a lukewarm relation to lager – come and see for yourselves.

What to expect during the tour

  • Bottling facility – You will take a bus from the brewery courtyard to see the bottling facility one of the most modern of its type in Europe. You will see a line where beer is packaged into bottles at an impressive speed of 120,000 bottles per hour.
  • Exhibition of ingredients – After visiting the packaging plant, you will take the biggest personal elevator in the Czech Republic to a unique panoramic cinema. You will get to know the secret of Pilsner Urquell brewing in a short film, and then you will find out with all your senses what ingredients are used to brew this lager.
  • Brewhouses – While wandering through the beer production plant, you will also stop to look at historical brewing kettles from 1931 . You will also peek into a modern brewhouse from 2004 with a daily capacity of almost 3,000,000 beers, and naturally there will be a presentation of the entire Pilsner Urquell brewing process.
  • People of Pilsner Urquell – Do you know how many people work on brewing the beer? It´s not only about the brewmaster. There are plenty of brewing professions without which you wouldn´t be able to drink Pilsner Urquell. You will find out what their everyday job involved and what was necessary for them to succeed. Diligence, enthusiasm and persistence are handed down from generation to generation in Pilsen.
  • Brewery cellars – You will also visit the brewery cellars, which are 9 kilometres long. You will learn what a fermenting tub is and what we call a beer blanket. Plzeňský Prazdroj still brews some of its beer in these premises just like the first brewmaster, Josef Groll, did by fermenting beer in open tuns and maturing it in oak barrels.
  • Tasting of unfiltered beer – What kind of tour of the Pilsner Urquell Brewery would it be without tasting its lager? Adult visitors will have a chance to try unfiltered and unpasteurized Pilsner Urquell poured straight from an oak barrel. You can try this beer only during the brewery tour or   the experience programme in Šalanda

If you still haven’t had enough of beer even after this 2-hour tour, you can visit  the Brewery Museum in Pilsen   or   the historical underground  or go to our   Na Spilce Pub .

A taste worth protecting since 1842

brewery tour plzen

Brewed only in Plzeň. enjoyed all over the world.

Meet the keepers of the craft.

Deep inside the cellars of our brewery in Plzeň, Czech Republic, we make sure that every Pilsner Urquell drop tastes as unique as it did in 1842. We proudly continue the heritage of Josef Groll, the original brewmaster who introduced the world to the first golden “Pilsner” lager and changed beer forever.

brewery tour plzen

BREWED THE ORIGINAL WAY

Everyone at our brewery gives their all to keep our recipe intact. It has been untouched for more than 180 years and uses traditional methods like triple decoction and parallel brewing. Yes, it takes longer, but it means we never compromise. And because Pilsner Urquell is only brewed in Plzeň, Czech Republic, that means our beer tastes the same all over the world.

WANT TO SEE HOW WE KEEP OUR CRAFT INTACT?

Come join a tour of our mythical brewery in Plzeň. Just one hour outside Prague you will find keepers of the craft hard at work to make sure thewhole world gets the original Pilsner taste.

WE DO IT ALL SO YOU CAN ENJOY THE PERFECT POUR

To keep our craft, we don't skip any steps. Our tapsters make sure you always get a thick head of dense, wet foam to seal in the freshness, protect delicate flavours from oxygen and create a perfect balance in our beer so that every sip has the perfect taste.

BUT WE ALSO GIVE YOU CHOICES. WE’RE NOT THAT STUBBORN.

You can enjoy our perfect taste in three different pours. Each one has a different flavour because each has a different amount of foam.

TRUST YOUR TAPSTER. THE ULTIMATE KEEPER.

In Czech we say “the brewmaster brews the beer and the tapster makes it“. And you better believe that every one of our tapsters is expertly trained in Plzeň, Czech Republic, to give you the perfect Pilsner Urquell experience all over the world.

SO IT’S FRESH AND FULL OF FLAVOUR

Pilsner Urquell’s signature flavour balances the sweetness from triple-decocted malt and the bitterness from Saaz hops. The thick head of dense, wet foam adds smoothness and seals in flavour and aroma.

brewery tour plzen

REFRESHING, RICH AND JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF HOPPY BITTERNESS

In every sip of Pilsner Urquell you’ll notice a refreshing crispness from natural carbonation, subtle caramel tones and a clean finish with a pleasing, hoppy bitterness.

BREWED THE SAME WAY SINCE 1842

They say you shouldn't fix what isn't broken. That's why we will never change our recipe. During the brewing process, we heat a portion of our mash three times to add more flavour and colour to our beer. This is called triple decoction.

SWEET MORAVIAN BARLEY, BITTER SAAZ HOPS, SOFT PLZEŇ WATER

We’ve only ever used 100% Czech ingredients to brew our beer, so we can be sure it tastes the same as it did in 1842. We will never change that.

Pilsner Urquell Brewery Experiences for Beer Lovers

For those absolute beer lovers, participate in the Pilsner Urquell Experiences from the “Draft Beer Workshop” to “The Journey of a Brewery Apprentice.” These experiences are a little more pricey but offer more than just the basic Pilsner Urquell Brewery tour.

Pilsner Urquell Brewery Tour, copper tanks, building, brewery, day trips from Prague, Pilsen, Plzeň

My dad and I opted to take the Classic Pilsner Urquell Brewery Tour. This tour is the most popular and most frequent, making it the ideal choice for most visitors.

The Classic Pilsner Urqell Brewery Tour starts right from the visitor center at the main brewery. A guide takes you through this interactive experience.

First, learn a little detailed history of how the brewery came to be. Back in the day, Pilsen had multiple “brew” houses that formed together to create this “powerhouse” brewery. Interestingly enough, see how some women played an essential role in the birth of the modern-day Pilsner Urquell.

Next, hop on the included bus next to the bottling facilities. This allows you to get a glimpse of production and the state-of-the-art bottling process. It’s loud, so the guide will explain before and after how it works. There are some supporting visual fact boards to help interpret and clarify the noisy process.

After that, it’s on to the brewhouses. Learn about how the beer is actually made. Try the malts and barely if you are so inclined. Here you’ll get a chance to see the beautiful copper tanks. Finally, watch a fun video about how the complete brewing process happens right where you’re standing.

Underground Tour

Wood barrels, Pilsner Urquell Brewery Tour, cellar, Pilsen, day trips from Prague

Although there is a separate tour just for the underground, the Pilsner Urquell Brewery Tour includes a walk in the old underground ice cellars. As you can imagine, these tunnels wind underneath the entire city.

Under the Brewery, there are over 60 ice rooms that help keep the cellar cool.

Underground tunnels are a common theme throughout the Czech Republic. It’s also possible to visit underground tunnels in the picturesque village of Tabor .

Pilsner Urquell Brewery Tour Tip | Bring something warm to wear in the cellars. It was so hot on the day we went on the tour, but we spent more time underground than anticipated. I wish I would have brought a scarf or something warm for my arms. Those cellars really work in keeping the beer (and you) cold!

Pilsner Urquell Beer Sampling

The most anticipated event of the Pilsner Urquell Brewery Tour is by far the actual beer sampling. The tasting actually happens below ground in the cellar 50 meters below ground. The atmosphere is just right, a it happens next to thevaging barrels in a dimly lit room.

brewery tour plzen

This is as fresh as it gets. Find a man, tapping directly from a wooden keg. This beer is from the small batch kegs right next door.

The ice-cold Pilsner Urquell beer is unfiltered and unpasteurized and can only be tasted during the Pilsner Urquell Brewery Tour!

Conclusion of the Pilsner Urquell Brewery Tour

Like most brewery tours, this one ends at the gift shop. From posters, clothing, and beer, there is a nice range of souvenirs and memorabilia to never forget your Pilsner Urquell Brewery Tour experience.

Is the Pilsner Urquell Brewery Tour worth it? Definitely! The brewery tour is fun, insightful, and interactive. Those visiting the Pilsner Urquell Brewery won’t be disappointed.

What to Do in Pilsen After the Pilsen Brewery Tour

Was that one beer sample just not enough? After the Pilsner Urquell Brewery Tour, you may be inspired to drink one more Pilsner Urquell.

On the grounds, visit Na Spilce Restaurant , which is housed in the old fermentation cellar. Walk down to the restaurant and massive beer hall to enjoy another beer.

This inviting beer hall is considered to be one of the biggest in the Czech Republic. They pour up fresh mugs of Pilsner Urquell and Gambrinus on draft. Food is only served in the restaurants and not available from the “bar side.”

Na Parkánu is an awesome authentic restaurant serving up traditional Czech food and Pilsner Urquell. This establishment is located right next to the Brewery Museum and even offers vouchers to sample the unfiltered Pilsner Urquell after the museum tour here.

Skip the Brewery Museum Tour, and rather, just indulge in the cuisine. The food is delicious and the servers are friendly.

More Things to Do in Pilsen Czech Republic

When you go to a pub with a Brewers’ Star, you are sure to get a beer just as it should be. The award is not only awarded to the pub, but mainly to its publican, who does an exemplary job of looking after the beer.

The success of Plzeňský Prazdroj is based on the talent, enthusiasm and professionalism of our staff. We look after our people as well as we look after the quality of our beer. After all, they’re the most valuable assets we have.
