I have been a bartender in 4 counties. Having been bartender in north America and Europe, I have to agree with your sentiment surrounding head! North Americans think you pour a terrible beer if it has some head, in Europe patrons will send it back if there isn't enough head 😂
People don't like the "foam" because they don't understand it's actually still beer (if tapped/poured correctly of course). In a traditional Pilsner, even if you get a half liter full of just foam, it's actually about 0.3 liters of beer. Foam has to contain quite a bit of liquid. Also, those people do not understand that beer reacts with oxygen very very fast and the head serves as an isolation of sorts, basically stops the beer from oxidizing. Why do you not want your beer to oxidize? Because it rapidly changes the taste of the beer and believe me, it's for the worse. Most people kind of know this, because they have left their beer standing before and know that it does not taste that good after a while, but still kind of don't get it.
I live in Ireland and its the same here. Drives me mad when they give you a beer with no head. In ireland if the beer has a big her people think there being scammed because theres less beer.
@@kylesimon7231 Technically yes, but this does not mean the beer is poured well. Best kinds of beer are usually a little below the line but the foam is thick and takes up quite a bit of space.
Oh my goodness. Ok, I've been in Europe at least 50 times and have given beer tours for over 45 years. (I grew up in Milwaukee) The large foam on a beer usually means it's naturally fermented and not injected with carbon dioxide like most American mass produced beers. CO2 is created in the fermentation process of beer. Most beers their drinking are Lager beers which mean their bottom fermented vx. Ales which are Top fermented. When in Germany or the Czech Republic they want foam which is made naturally. The reason is flavor. Most beer glasses in these countries will have a line near the top which indicates a certain quantity of beer like .5 Litres etc. The beer will be poured to that level and the glass finished off with foam. College students for the past 50 years want no foam because they think the bartender is cheating them of a full beer. An indication that they don't know anything about quality just quantity. The foam on the side of the glass by the way is called Brussels Lace and another indication of a beer that was naturally fermented. I'm in for the taste and in in Germany and the Czech Republic you'll get the best tasting beer in the world if you just take a little time to understand how it's brewed and why. Na zdraví and Prost!!!!
Foam in a beer is dependent on the malt type, some malts improve beer foam which is desired in a quality beer. All beer is naturally fermented by law, but not all is naturally carbonated, including Czech beers. Some beer bottles can be naturally carbonated, but you always need a CO2 tank to pour beer on tap. Most exciting brewing trends and novel beers happened in... the US, and Czech breweries showcase american beer styles like NEIPA's, APA, milkshake IPAs, pastry stouts etc.
she drinks one of the best commercialy sold beers in thr world and says it tastes like college beer bruh american beers look like a soda you left out in the open for a week
So I am already following the honest guide and got really confused due to the thumbnail because I thought I was clicking on Janek's video 😂 glad to see this collab though!
Looks like great fun. I’m definitely coming maybe next year or year after. I’m making a note of all these good places in this and other videos. Cheers!
Agreed. The other girl was alright, but purple brows was a bit, much! Think she peeved off Janek after a while...he didn't look too happy being labeled a 'lightweight', and his comment after she flipped the coaster said a lot!!
What you are refering to as American beer is in fact international light lager. America has the best beer in the world, with over 8 thousand microbreweries and craft breweries. Best hops in the whole word and beer styles: American IPA/APA (west/east coast), New England IPA, American Stout, Black IPA/Cascadian Dark Ale. These microbreweries brew every beer style from all over the world, including very rare styles like Polish Grodziskie (light strongly sparkling wheat beer smoked with beechwood smoke).
I'm trying to find an online store (in Europe) that sells one of those mugs... All I can find online are either British dimple mugs, which are quite a bit different, or German "Tübinger" mugs, which seem to be close, but still I couldn't find any that were as charming as the various mugs you see throughout the video.
don't mind them though... V was our guy in the same situation and he got out of there I guess... As for the rest of them I don't know... They're happy together though she's middle aged by now and he's just a young boy... Though if he found out he's getting played by aunty he may think twice.... :P It's part of life where such things happen because they're part of the fun... Otherwise they wouldn't be in it
@@MrStoyan5 You are gravely mistaken, my friend. In Czech, the word ‘jelen’ usually means solely ‘male red deer’ (= Cervus elaphus) and never refers to any particular species, unless it is part of a binomial name, for example ‘jelen evropský’ (= Cervus elaphus === red deer), which ‘červený jelen’ (= red stag) definitely isn't.
if you dont knwo 3 main beer ingrediencies you should NEVER graduate from college ...........ohhhhh.....wait a minute.....she is from American college...........ok i got it ..........((
I would argue with the fact that Janek visits The States quite often, he has relatives there. He goes to US multiple times a year. I do think though he was referring to more of a stereotype that we think American beer is bad, because we compare our huge breweries and US huge breweries. But obviously small and craft breweries are really good. Here in Czechia we are also starting to get into craft beer. We have been since the last 10 years. But many people still only know lager style beer
I have some issues with this and other Honest Guide videos about beer. It seems like they all pour the beer and let the faucet go into the beer in the mug. Cést la vie. Big no no here.
I just came back from the Czech Republic a few weeks ago, Honest Guide has the best videos to learn about Prague!

It is the world best beer.
Proceeds to take an hour to down just one glass.

Lol

Brother Janek just killin it with the American girl. That's how a European chad looks like
Looks like great fun. I’m definitely coming maybe next year or year after. I’m making a note of all these good places in this and other videos. Cheers!
Its so great to see Janek here haha
I've been often to Prague now just for the beer. It's definitely the best city for (craft) beer in the world.
Have you been to San Diego??
The Zizkov area has many unique and quirky pubs if you want to get off the beaten track.
Žižkov
Agreed, that’s how Praha should be experienced.
Yay! Janek from honest guide !
It's called "wet foam" and it's the Czech-style side-pull taps (and the small screen that's inside of them) that generate it.
12:35 the mug with the lid, it's called a Stein
Janek is really awesome. That loud obnoxious thing with the purple brows, not so much.
Agreed. The other girl was alright, but purple brows was a bit, much! Think she peeved off Janek after a while...he didn't look too happy being labeled a 'lightweight', and his comment after she flipped the coaster said a lot!!
Janek is damm right
Lovely, just lovely! Beer looks amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Janek: “By the white pin”
Me: but is there an actual bowling alley...?
The college girl are cute, funny and drunk. Janek tried to help them. Thanks for the tour!
Brewmaster fact check, : Intrisic beer fom is actually a type of protein along with carbon dioxide released during fermentation
Hi Janek!!!!!!!
U r the best!!!
Looks to cold for a beer tour, i'll wait until summer ha.
Czech has such a great beer culture. Love those side pour taps.
on a side note, England fans ruining things as per usual 😂
What did you use hands for knedlík at 4:07 ?? Thats considered disgusting.
tourists generally think it is some kind of bread, but yes, it is disgusting
It's not disgusting, it's a warcrime against Czech Republic
BTW the red stag is very expensive for dinner.

that opener LMAO
Only good thing about Beer garden Letná is the view and (finally) free toilet. Otherwise it could have so much better services and more choice of beer
Love Janek haha

(soon) we get to go there together and get beers together
and other beverages of our liking :P :P
That's how directions were given in England many years ago. By pubs.
brb going to Prague
ey janek😍😍
wtf, czechs gave to americans word "dollar " lol
@@marekkelin1181 well Czechia and Germany have a very common history, if something was invented in Canada you also wouldn't say it's English.

Only here for janek
The woman in the bun was incredibly frustrating
PILSNER URQUELL is like water, they said )))

no u flecku? best beer hall in Prague - they've been making beer there for 700+ years. Also the Golden Tiger? Havel's beer hall ... 2 big misses
Golden Tiger, U Jelínků, u Kocoura, u Pinkasů. Top 4 Prague pubs in the last century
American calling a check person a lightweight is the definition privilege
American college students are the highest drinking populace in earth
What is the point of 2 people who clearly know nothing about beer reviewing beer?
i love head, me

U Fleku
ok you started with a terrible joke from Monty Python and couldn't deliver that... how can I even trust anything else you will say?
janek was great as always. The girls been very annoying
😋😋😋😋😋😆😭😭😭😭😭
So no one's gonna talk about her eyebrows
Fleku
Janek seemed so sick of the purple eyebrow girl 😂
Red stag, not red deer :-D
Both translations are correct
since Jelen is used to refer to both male deer of the species and to the species as a whole

I do agree tho American beers are crap budlight is the worse .
if you dont knwo 3 main beer ingrediencies you should NEVER graduate from college ...........ohhhhh.....wait a minute.....she is from American college...........ok i got it ..........((
Anyone who says American beer is "fucking close to water" has never actual been to America.
Have you been outside America tho?
Lol he meant the Pilsner, lager style beers from the USA, most of them are just crap.

Why is it a problem?
Well hello 1 view
Awful, how can you have a pub guide with someone who has no clue about beer. Anyhow great locations.
Don't forget that usa is genuine home of craft beer. When you have choice between pilsner and American IPA then decision is simple.
Sorry pilsner
well, I agree the average American pilsner tastes like shite, the IPA is slightly better
Honey we've been making craft beers centuries before America even existed
@@ninavinterova9875 it's not about when it's about quality
Isnt IPA from England?
