A grumpy Výčepní ...now that's Czech! Gotta love a Czech pub, especially the little quirky ones. Some might call them "Dive Bars", but they're so full of character.
Now that’s the best example of when a bartender deserves a tip, I’ve been to plenty of bars and breweries where they expect a tip for far far far less than that amicability.
As you say, it's not just about the beer quality. A bad beertender, a bad care can completely spoil good beer. There is a czech saying (not sure I translated it well enough): The brewer brews the beer, but the beertender makes it whole.
...my late brother, Tim & I visited Prague in 1994...gorgeous city...excellent pivo!!! BTW in German gasthauses there is always a 'Stammtisch' for the regulars...the old guys who played what looked like a German version of the typical/traditional GI game, Spades, which they played loudly - banging their knuckles on the table when they made book...I was surprised that none of them ever got injuries at that game...
This is "Mariáš", a typical pub card game. Although it looks like a simple game, it has surprisingly complex rules. They can be found on the Internet, and there is even Mariaš available for download as an application. If you have never played it, it will take you quite a while to understand it. But it is best learned from someone who has played it for a long time. I learned it from my older brother. Today, however, it is more of a game for older generations, and it is quite rare to see anyone playing it. Today, younger people tend to look at their phones or tablets.
@@davidvanin8630 YUP!!! That's it!!! used to marvel at the old timers in the gasthaus how they slammed their hands into the table without breaking their knuckles...those guys were probably my age now (72) at the time I saw them in 1971 -1974....loved those playing cards - the game is probably similar to the 'spades' we played in our day...
@@mohammedcohen Mariáš was probably originally from Germany (we have a connected history for several centuries), but over time it changed, unique elements were added. And you are right. He also adopted certain features from the game "Spades". All point card games ( Spades / Geigel / Mariáš ) have a similar playing style. But each one is a little different :-)
@ Budweiser Crew Is Mr. Dredge the same gentleman who, as far as the world of Czech beer is concerned, finds nothing objectionable in serving two masters ? I could bet that I saw him in a video uploaded on the Pilsener Urquell brewery`s channel, preparing one of the Czech`s pub culture`s most beloved snack foods, the pickled and marinated "Czech camembert" also known as *Hermelin* .
Mark Dredge is a fantastic beer writer and broadcaster, he is completely independent and doesn't serve anyone. It was a privilege to have him involved. We hope you enjoyed the film.
So the trademark has its meaning. Beer has been brewed here (I'm from the Czech Republic) for at least 900 years. It is a great tradition and a piece of our history. It's the same as if, for example, they brew Maple Syrup in Vietnam and pass it off as authentically Canadian. Hence the trademark.
I dislike Czech beer profusely, I am much more an aficionado of German Hefeweizens, Rauchbiers and Doppelbocks. However I always return to this one restaurant in Praha and the Budvar they serve is so watery fresh and palatable, goes down like the smoothest of milks straight from the tit, beautiful beer. A canned version is NOT the same thing as from the čap, but in case of Budvar, it's pretty darn close.
Your Czech pronunciation stinks but I enjoyed the video. :) Interesting choice to go to Pult, which - although it has great beer snacks - is not really known for food generally.
Im from St Louis Missouri, a nd it is my wish to leave it behind and go to Ceske Budrovice so that I can drink REAL Budweiser for ever!
Come and visit the brewery when you do!
Been in Ceske Budejovice in early 2000s now living UK but one day Ill come back there on my motorcycle trip
see you when you get here
Great video man! You really hit the feel of the Czech beer culture :)
Thanks so much.

All shapes and sizes are worth a look no doubt..
Now I wanna go back to Prague

Thanks so much.
Wow, the clip makes appetite for more!
Thanks, we think so too 🍻

Cool? Not...only practic
@@davidvanin8630 Cool and practical we reckon..
I wish we had this on Scotland

Yes they know how to do it!

That's exactly right, we say that too :-)
Eerie how familiar much is to someone with just Czech ancestry. 👀🍻
We're always here if you want to visit.
I can't go there just yet, but we're brewing Czech Pilsner to get the idea.
Great vlog love Prague Cyrils bar in Andels
A teď mam žízeň i hlad..diky

@@davidvanin8630 ...thanks, my friend...amazing how much you can learn on RUclips...especially after all these years...again. thanks...
Every day is a school day thanks for sharing your experiences!
Subtitles are so distracting. Especially since in RUclips you can turn subtitles on if you want them.
Thanks for the feedback, but we do have our reasons for doing it this way.
Budvar is the best, shame its £6 in my local 😢
There's always the shop! But support your local when you can. ;-)
Budvar Dark Lager £1.59 in Home Bargains! 😉
👍 nice
I want to go there
Crazy idea
Is it though?
Ahoi!!!!! I love your beer and I love that it is government owned so I can support Petr Pavel and the Ukraine while drinking

They Czechs make really good firearms too
...In America it's marketed as 'Czechvar' due to trademark issues...
So the trademark has its meaning. Beer has been brewed here (I'm from the Czech Republic) for at least 900 years. It is a great tradition and a piece of our history. It's the same as if, for example, they brew Maple Syrup in Vietnam and pass it off as authentically Canadian. Hence the trademark.
Yes indeed, but still the same great lager always brewed in one place ;-)
@@BudweiserBudvar Is there a pub in Prague which has Budvar 33 served from tank?
there are many, shouldn't be too hard to find @@JohnSmith-hk1lx
Look 👀 at those heads. No diddy 😅
🙏 Please God, I pray that you bring your delicious budvar on tap to the UK, until then we have to put up with worst of your creations. Have pity...
lots of places to drink it in the UK! Some good ones on the website...
@@BudweiserBudvar another wrong Google answer for me!?! I am off to the pub!

Doubt he's ever pulled a pint in his life.
He certainly has, harder than it looks in the Republic of Beer though ;-)

Living the life of an alcoholic
Drink responsibly please Robert.
@@BudweiserBudvar not me. The video. Can't stand alcohol. Wish I never touched it. Drinking alcohol is stupid
Seen alcohol destroy too many lives. It's a horrible drug.
They now have one without alcohol Nelko or Neko or something like that.
