Samantha and her husband had a great time while touring the Pilsner Urquell Brewery near Prague in the Czech Republic. If you are anywhere near the area you should definitely try to make time to check it out.

Pheymont, What an interesting bit of history. Thank you for sharing that story. Prosit!

Samantha, her husband, and niece had a great time on their tour of Odell's Brewing Company on her birthday. The tour, and one sample, are free!

Samantha and her husband Gene visited their 100th craft brewery and look forward to a future trip when they plan to hit a craft brewery in each of the 50 states!

DrFumblefinger came across a collection of beer steins which filled the windows of a pub in Helsingor, Denmark.

Samantha and her husband took a weekend trip down to Ensenada to enjoy a weekend reprieve and have a few beers.

Denmark's huge Roskilde music festival has contradictions.   On the one hand, it's noted for a focus on the environment and sustainability; on the other it's noted for huge volumes of beer consumed on site.
