Located in the heart of Europe, the Czech Republic officially separated from Slovakia on New Year’s Day 1993. Its Capital city, Prague, has long held a reputation as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Czech beer is renowned by beer drinkers everywhere. The Czech city of Plzen became important in the history of beer when the Plzensky Prazdroj (Pilsner Urquell) brewery poured the first glass of a new style of lager in 1842, inspiring other brewers to design their own version of pilsner. No wonder the Czech Republic has the highest per-capita rate of beer consumption in the world at over 160 liters of beer annually per citizen! The typical Czech meal consists mainly of roasted pork or beef, served with potatoes, rice, or the traditional bread or potato dumplings. Goulash and potato pancakes show an Austro-Hungarian influence.
