Prague is the best city in Europe for beer lovers. That probably sounds outlandish, at least at first glance. Other European capitals certainly might offer greater variety, with a few more kinds of beer available. In a city like Brussels, you could probably find 40 different types of beer, including many rarities that would be hard to spot anywhere outside of Belgium. But in Brussels, you can also walk for blocks without finding any decent beer at all. In Prague, on the other hand, good beer — and often amazingly great beer — is on just about every corner.

There’s also the question of price. Even in Prague’s most expensive pubs, good beer remains very affordable, including many imports, compared to most big cities in Europe. (One brewer from the Netherlands was recently surprised to discover that his craft beers actually cost less in Prague than they do in Amsterdam or Utrecht, even after accounting for shipping costs.) And Prague’s excellent public transportation system means that beer travellers can easily get from one pub, beer garden or microbrewery to the next, making it possible to create multi-day itineraries focusing entirely on tracking down great ales and lagers.
