Beer heaven is a name given to many places, but one strong contender for this title lies in the Czech Republic – albeit in a place far beyond Prague’s tourist- packed bars serving beer with famously tall heads of foam.

You even need to make it past the world-famous cellars of the Pilsner Urquell brewery, just a few minutes’ walk from the main Plzen train station, where you can sample the original style of unfiltered and unpasteurised pilsner in the city where it was invented.
