Reached my destination: Libocký pivovar - Hostinec nad Šárkou. First visit in 7-8 years. Šárka 11 has a mild off-flavour that would disqualify it from a competition, but it's hitting the right cord for me now - it might be because I've just walked 20 k, and the last bit was all uphill 🤷

Perfect day for a 20 km beer hike from my place to... Prague. Admittedly, the destination is not particularly exciting, it's mostly an excuse to get my ass moving, and there are a couple of good spots along the way.

The beers at Fuze are still mňamdopičí. Grilovaný bůček was lovely, but served with crap chimichurri and a pointless grilled spring onion. The smoked potatoes were quite good, though admittedly not particularly photogenic.

My birthday isn't until Monday, but the official celebrations start today at Únětický pivovar with their magnificent Žitný speciál (the celebrations began last Saturday, actually, but I didn't tell anyone)

My Achilles tendon has been nagging me lately, preventing me from doing my usual beer hikes. But with today's gorgeous weather, I HAD to go for a walk, and Pivovar Prokopák is perfect for this: luvly birrita, mňamdopicí svíčková (esp. the knedlíky) and the rustling of leaves in the wind.

I hardly drink at home anymore, but today I was in the right mood for a tipple, and I figured Saturn 2021 by Lajka - pivovar a café could be the right tipple for said mood. What a gorgeous thing! Still very lively but more balanced, and as heart warming as a fond memory from childhood.
