Czech beer is a drink known all over the world. You can find many brands of beer from the Czech Republic in stores anywhere in the world. Among the foamy variety from the Czech Republic, one can distinguish the Prazhechka beer, which was liked by the Russians and is produced today in our country in the best traditions of Czech brewing.
Russian beer in Czech
According to polls, the Russian consumer respects Czech beer very much. As a result, the Russian Tradition company did not begin to acquire a production license, but began to manufacture its own beer in Czech. In order to create a foamy drink in accordance with the centuries-old traditions and recipes of brewers from the Czech Republic, world-class experts were invited. Beer "Prazhechka" turned out to be as budget-friendly as possible, while not losing the originality of the "Czech" taste and high quality.
Production
Currently, beer "Prazhechka" is available only in the "light" version. According to statistics, Russian foam drink lovers prefer light beer to dark beer , so manufacturers simply did not begin to produce the dark version. And the classic Czech version is light beer.
Only natural and high-quality ingredients are used in order to get the classic Czech beer "Prazhechka". The manufacturer uses pure water, three types of malt and hops. No flavors, emulsifiers, preservatives or alcohol are added to the drink. Bottom line: despite the high density (more than 9.5%), it has a very small percentage of strength (4%).
For bottling, a variety of containers are used, as they say, "for any client." It can be glass and tin cans, barrels of five liters and large kegs for draft beer machines. The naturalness of beer is also evident in the shelf life of the drink. As you know, natural beer is not stored for a long time. Cans and bottles must be sold within six months, and kegs within three months.
Taste, color, aroma
As already mentioned above, Prazhechka beer is a classic light beer. It is distinguished by a bright golden hue, a solid strong foam, a pleasant hoppy aroma, complemented by a small bitterness.
Drinking culture
The Czechs have long been known not only for their ability to produce good quality beer, but also for the special rituals of its drinking. According to experts, the beer Prazhechka is simply not designed to drink in large, quick and hasty sips. Czechs prefer not to rush, to enjoy every sip. By tradition, Prague should be drunk in three sips. Just then you will feel the whole taste and aroma of the drink: at the beginning of the glass, in the middle and at the end, where there is a pleasant bitterness and a delicious natural precipitate.
Remember, good beer should not be drunk directly from the bottle. It should be poured into a beer glass and savored. If you already want to get drunk, take better vodka. And if you prefer a pleasant company, intimate conversation and quality tasty beer, then rushing is not recommended.
