Pivovarsky Dvur -Chyne - Czech Republic




The Pivovarsky Dvur can be found 13 km to the south west from Prague. The easiest way to get there from Prague is to get the tram to Zlicin and then get a number 347 bus to the brewery. A three day transport pass cost about a tenner and this trip is covered by it.


The brewery is excellent and the beer was easily the best we tasted in the five days in the Czech Republic. They had four different ales on the day we were there so naturally we had to try them all.


The building is a reasonably large beer hall type restaurant although not in the same league as Munich for size. The beers we tried were a 10% light draught beer, a 12% half-dark lager type beer and a 14% special dark lager. The other beer was a guest from Vienna and Norm, Derek, John H and myself think we tried it in 2005 on our Slovakia trip.


The restaurant offered the normal Czech fare, pigs knees, knuckles, bollocks etc as weel as the meat and cheese platter that I took a fancy to this year.


If you're in Prague, get a ticket to Chyne, you won't regret it.
