I'm off there in a couple of hours. I'll report back next week.
Be good - drink some beer. Maybe mild?

Welcome
A bit of a CV. Tandleman is a veteran beer lover, local CAMRA Chairman and activist, beer writer, beer reviewer and pursuer of all things good in beer. He lives in the North West of England and London. Despite his CAMRA membership, he does not limit himself to cask conditioned beer, though he believes that cask conditioning, when done correctly and appropriately, brings a quality to beer that is hard to equal by any other kind of presentation. He is a strong supporter of Northern methods of beer dispense and avidly detests poorly presented beer and dislikes pasteurisation. He regularly visits Germany, has conducted corporate British and German beer tastings for CAMRA at the Great British Beer Festival where he has worked for years on Biere Sans Frontieres and was Deputy Organiser at CAMRA's very successful National Winter Ales Festival in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and at the Manchester Beer and Cider Festival from 2013 to date. He admires good brewers wherever they are and has travelled extensively in pursuit of good beer to drink. He also judges beer at both the International Beer Challenge and the World Beer Awards.

I had a dream last night in which I was in Prague again...
My advice is to make good use of the Pilsner Urquell tankova pubs, even if they aren't "traditional". Good food in there too.
Cheers Jeff
Prague is a wonderful place..anyway, I'll take your advice, I'll be drinking some beer this weekend...cheers..
U Rotundy is my advice. If you want some Mild, try the Velkepopvicky 10º Tmavé.
Ron you are a contrarian! U Rotundy is about as appealing as a flash mob in the Black Hole of Calcutta. Czechs would agree!
I genuinely adore U Rotundy. It's in my top ten pubs. What have you got against it? Not yuppy enough for you?
