Where: Pilsen, Czech Republic
When: 30 - 31 August 2013 (tbc)
For almost two centuries, or since 1842 to be precise, the residents of Pilsen have been celebrating the first batch of their beloved Pilsner Urquell. Since 2008 another Pilsner brewery, Gambrinus, has joined in the festivities, which attracts nearly 30,000 revellers. The courtyards of the two breweries form the perfect backdrop for two main music stages, and a range of stalls offer traditional food while master bartenders and a golf tournament further entertain visitors. Don't miss out on special tours of the Pilsner Brewery Museum hosted during the festival.
