Checking Out the Czech Beer Festival

Checking Out the Czech Beer Festival

Last week after blogging about upcoming events in the Stuttgart area, a fellow blogger alerted me to a Tschechisches Bierfestival happening over on Kronprinzplatz, just off of Stuttgart's main shopping street, the Königstraße. Matt and I very much enjoyed our trip to Prague in the Czech Republic last spring, and so we decided to make it a point to check out the festival. 

While out with friends on Friday, we made our way over to Kronprinzplatz to see what the festival was all about. The company sponsoring the festival had set up a huge, though rather plain-looking, tent in the middle of the square. According to the company's website, they aim for a "rustic-style" which could be seen in the traditional(looking) outfits worn by the Czech-speaking servers, the large murals showing beer-hall scenes on the tent ceiling, and the rows and rows of beer tables draped in clothes from the Czech brewery on tap...

Recap: Prague in the Springtime

Since our trip to Prague was what inspired my blog, I think it's only fair that I start my recaps from here. 

We traveled to Prague by train/bus this past April, which took a good six hours from home. I always prefer traveling by train whenever possible, as I find the ability to move around and see the countryside from the window much preferable to planes. Minus travel time, we had a full three days to roam around the city. Here are the highlights.
