Prague Beer Pouring Class at Pilsner Urquell
Description
Did you know that Czechs pour their favourite Pilsner Urquell beer in three different styles? They are called Hladinka, Šnyt and Mlíko, and even though they are made of exactly the same beer, they taste completely different. The secret is in the foam! Embark on a 60-minute journey and change the way you see beer - forever. During the exclusive Tapster Academy, a beer-pouring class held in one of our stunning private bars, our professional tapsters will teach you the secrets of how to pour a perfect beer. You will understand the importance of ingredients, beer storage, pouring methods, cleanliness, and much more. During the class, you will learn to pour all three Pilsner Urquell pours, but most importantly, you will be able to distinguish a great beer from a bad one and recognize the most common mistakes when it comes to beer pouring. At the end of the Tapster Academy, you will receive a certificate of completion, and also a nicely packed Pilsner Urquell bottle with your name! :)

The Original Tour was cheesy but fun and lighthearted. If you really like beer and want something interactive, the Original Tour is worth the money. Additionally, we did the Tapster Academy which is only worth the expensive price if A) you are really really into beer and can/want to drink 4-5 of the same type of beer in an hour or B) with a large group. We were the only 2 people in it which felt awkward and although we like beer, to us this additional experience was not worth us spending $140 USD in total.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback — we really appreciate it. Hopefully you like engraved mugs with your name after the Beer Sommelier dinner and the personalised bottle and certificate after the Tapster Academy. These are exactly the kinds of details we hope make the experience memorable, and it’s great to know our visitors value them.
Thanks to the entire team. Everything is excellent!!!
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We’re really happy to hear everything was “top top” and that you had such a great experience.
