Need a reason to travel? How about beer?

As if you needed a truly good reason to visit Prague and the Czech Republic, the NY Times came up with a nice piece on Czech beers and how to best experience them. As it turns out, there are more than 100 breweries in this country, yet the author focuses on the more famous and controversial Budvar in Ceske Budejovice and Pilsner Urquell in Plzen (find out here why).

Since (almost) everything in the Czech Republic is within driving or train riding distance, it is probably a good idea to first check into a hotel in Prague following my earlier advice on its best-selling properties, then follow the beer trail. Cheers, everyone! (or rather, Na zdraví!)
