Thanks to all that followed along. I'm now in Iceland, en route to Toronto.
I hope the tags / keywords helped others less interested in beer filter easily enough.

I also had my first Dark Budvar on side-pour. Just 3 hours left in our vacation. Budvar Dark is a real treasure. It's way better than Kozel dark.

Had a Oldgott at the U medvidku. Very good caramel / brown malt character.

The tour is a bit corny for those who know a decent amount about brewing / PU -- if not, maybe pick-up @akrennmair 's books for some context -- but it's really worth it to visit the cellars.
I had the unfiltered barrel beer. It truly has its own character / element; Perhaps more like Budvar than PU. With the amount they have, I wish they offered more.

Had a Snyt before we bounced to PU Brewery. It's so lovely to just see the beer tank in a Lokal.

Omw to Pilsen, for a Lager pilgrimage, via improvised train ride.

I've had a copious amount of Pilsner Urquell on draft. Now I've finally had Budvar on Lukr side-pour draft.
A dream come true. Although, I can see why the Czechs much prefer the crisp bitter bite of PU. Maybe a bit of a more professional pour would've made the difference.
Budvar is still my favourite lager in the world. But Augustiner made a great run of it. Wish I could get it....

Now we are at the Golden Tiger. I presume we are drinking standard Plato Pilsner Urquell the whole time. To be honest, I have no idea what the hell is going on. I just keep drinking Pils.

Finally, I've crossed the border in Squat Land for the very first time.
Having our very first Czech pub experience at the Lokal old town spot. I also booked my train tickets & the tour for Pilsen.

Took a hotel break after a bit too much sun & tourism.
Decided to crack this Schwarzbier I've been lugging since Bamberg train station. Probably nothing better than a casual Schwarzbier.

And then we took a nice stroll to Brüsseler Eck for Schultheiss. Thanks for the tip @akrennmair . My wife also had a Mexican Mule (Mule w/ Tequila).

Finished with the HefeWeizen for last call. Just feels like doing it right.

The vibe at Eschenbräu was perfect. Missing it from south Germany. There was even a birthday party.
We had the Pils (R) and the Panke Gold (L). The Gold surprised us both with its hop character.

My wife has the Herren Pils form Keesman. Almost as good as the fresh bier Garten pour, but just as I remember, flavour profile wise.

Andddddd when the yeast drops!!
It really brought the drink together. The aromas even increased -- but perhaps that's due to it warming up. Really a pleasant beer. Can't wait to try an older bottle tomorrow.

Here is the Yasmin before the yeast pour. The matriach suggested I go to half before I pour the yeast / sediment.
Quite a treat. By far my favourite complex beer of my Germany tour.

Probably the most interesting of the four on tap... The Postdammer Stange. I hopped Lager with Wheat. It smells and tastes of a Raw Beer, but I haven't confirmed that with the maestro.
Malt sweetness. Nice wheat flavour.
My wife's first comment, "smells like our apartment when you brew".
Nice vibe here. To me, it's the Berlin version of my local whacky dive -- Shacklands.

Next up I'm having the Wilder Billy. As the name suggests, more of a strong sour punch. Tastes of very mild Guava Punch Mix.
