Pivovar U Bulovky

January 28, 2008

When beer connoisseurs rave about this small brewpub in the Liben hills overlooking Prague, they do so in the quiet, feverish tones of conspirators. The uninitiated might suggest that 20 minutes on a tram is a bit far to go for a drink in a town overflowing with very good beer. They will respond with a shrug and the slightest lifting of an eyebrow, which suggests that their secret is safe from one more philistine.

The subject of the cultish devotion is the selection of small-batch beers on offer, including several excellent, German-style brews like the cloudy, top-fermented Richter Alt and a Bavarian-style Weissbier. What’s more, U Bulovky has an outstanding kitchen which turns out succulent steaks and chops as well as more traditional pub fare. Reservations recommended.
