Hi everyone!
My homeland, the Czech Republic, is sometimes referred to as the beer capital of the world and there are good reasons for that. Except for the fact that the Czechs are by far the biggest beer drinkers in the world with the world´s highest per capita consumption, the country is also famous for an abundance of all kinds of breweries.

Ranging from world-famous giants such as Pilsner or Budweiser Budvar to numerous little-known regional breweries, the Czech Republic currently boasts staggering 435 beer breweries.

While it certainly sounds like an impressive number for a country of just over 10 million inhabitants, it is actually nothing special compared to the year circa 1900 when there were between 900 and 1,000 breweries in what is now the Czech Republic.
So if you are a beer fan, you know where you should go on your next vacation, right? :)
