Prague Beer Guide. Pivnice U Zlatého Tygra

in #beer5 years ago (edited)

This beer Jerusalem among Prague pubs. The first mentions of a Zlatý Tygr (Golden Tiger) in a house with a bas-relief of a prowling tiger belong to 1816. There was a raging 19th century, the pub was closed and a coffee shop was opened, then a reading room, so that in the 20th century they could begin again to chant beer here. This legendary place is known not so much by Pilsner beer, as by its štamgasts (permanent guests), because it was Zlatý Tygr who had and still is a favorite place of both Czech politicians and intellectuals with ordinary Prague residents. According to legend, when French Prime Minister Edouard Herriot first arrived in Prague, during the years of the First Republic (1918–1938) and asked to be taken to a beer, where you can experience the true spirit of Prague, Czech politicians took him to Zlatý Tygr. Like now, officials and artisans, undertakers and artists, historians and butchers sat and drank beer at the tables in one of the tables. Seeing this atmosphere of true equality, Herriot was unspeakably surprised and declared to his Czech escorts that there was no democracy in France, and a real democracy in the pub at the Zlatý Tygr. Continuing the longstanding traditions after the Velvet Revolution, the Zlatý Tygr remains a place of controversy and discussion, heated debates and drunken conversations about everything in the world. It was here that every Tuesday famous Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal appeared to occupy his usual table near the entrance to the kitchen and listen to the endless stories of numerous visitors of the pub or quote Chinese wise men. Also, Oscar-winning director Jiří Menzel often appeared here to talk with Hrabal and grab some beer. So, I highly recommend to go to the Zlatý Tygr for an hour and get into the beer mecca.
