We brewed the first pilsner type lager in the world with its characteristic full taste and limpid golden colour in 1842. It has been a model beer for more than 80% of existing beer brands so far. It owes its uniqueness to high quality ingredients and a unique brewing procedure. Go on a tour of the Pilsner Urquell brewery, and get to know the story of the legend born in 1842.
The Pilsner Urquell brewery offers tours, which will impress beer fans and history lovers. You will view the original locations where the famous Pilsner Urquell beer was born 180 years ago, and whose story continues even today. You will learn about the ingredients from which Pilsner Urquell beer is brewed. We will also show you the heart of the brewery, three brew houses from different centuries. The culmination of the tour is a tasting of unfiltered Pilsner Urquell beer in the historical cellars.
From the Brewery Courtyard, we will travel in a brewery bus for a tour of the bottling facility, which is one of the most modern in Europe and processes a remarkable 120,000 bottles and 60,000 aluminium cans per hour. The BOTTLE FILLING FACILITY TOUR is part of the Pilsner Urquell Brewery Tour for CZK 380.

Pilsner Urquell has the largest passenger lift in the Czech Republic. We will take it to a unique panoramic cinema. After watching a film about the secrets of Pilsner Urquell beer production, we will be able, using all of our senses, to become familiar with the unique ingredients from which Pilsner Urquell beer is brewed – soft water from Pilsen, malt produced in our facility from a special variety of Bohemian spring double-row barley, Žatec semi-ripe red hops and special brewer’s yeast.
We will familiarise you with brew houses from across three centuries. You will see the brewing kettle in which the first batch of Pilsner Urquell lager was brewed on 5 October 1842. Thanks to the sacrifices and courage of the brewery’s staff, this copper kettle survived both world wars and remains preserved to this day. In the historic brew house from the early 20th century, we will introduce you to the unique process of brewing Pilsner Urquell beer. You will also view a modern brew house from 2004, which will convince you that although the technology has been developing, the historic way of brewing Pilsner Urquell beer remains the same.
In this section, we will tell the story of human labour and skill. You will become familiar not only with malt workers, but also with people in other professions, without whom we could not have written the successful story of Pilsner Urquell beer. We will familiarise you via the exhibits with the daily toil that led to the brewery’s founding and to its worldwide fame. We will show you the willingness, efforts and endurance that have been handed down in Pilsen from generation to generation.
Experience the unique atmosphere of the historic beer cellars. You will view the spillage tubs and learn what a “beer blanket” is. The Pilsner Urquell brewery still today produces a small amount of Pilsner Urquell beer here using the traditional method from the era of the first brewer, Josef Groll, which involves fermentation in open wooden vats and maturing in oak lager casks.
You will be invited to taste unfiltered and unpasteurised Pilsner Urquell beer at the end of the tour (for adults only). In the lager cellars, you will be able to taste unfiltered and unpasteurised Pilsner Urquell beer tapped directly from an oak lager cask. You can taste this unique unfiltered and unpasteurised Pilsner Urquell beer only during the tour of the brewery or during programmes in the šalanda relaxation areas.
From the Brewery Courtyard, we will travel in a brewery bus for a tour of the bottling facility, which is one of the most modern in Europe and processes a remarkable 120,000 bottles and 60,000 aluminium cans per hour.
Enjoy the medieval atmosphere in the only museum of its kind, located in an original authentic brew house from the 15th century.
