Most of you might be aware that the original Budweiser beer hails from the Czech Republic (by the name Budvar) and not from the US. Beer in Prague has a century old tradition and is mostly of the Pilsner/Lager variety. Apparently the original lager beer was invented in a monastery in the Czech town of Plsn (or Pilsen), about 80 km from Prague away. Should you crave some truly original beer from Prague then I highly recommend you go to the bar of the sparkling new and pleasingly reclusive The Augustine Hotel. The hotel has its own dark and very rich "St. Thomas" beer based on a 13th century recipe from the local monastery. Enjoy!
PS: Drinking beer also helps with the budget as beer is considerably cheaper than soft drinks or water.
