Divoká Šarka Beer Garden



This was a relaxing afternoon. A twenty minute tram ride out of Prague lies the giant nature reserve (of sorts) Divoká Šarka. Walk behind the Mcdonalds and take a left at the bottom of the ancient stairs that lead to the hiking path and walk. It's about a fifteen minute hike through the woods until you come to this:
A quiet, leafy paradise to relax and enjoy some fantastic Svijany pivo.

There's no waiters so you have to wait in line to get your beer. They had Svijany 11 degree and a 13 degree tmave. The eleven degree was fantastic. A very subtle beer with semi fruity flavor and a delicious toasty aftertaste. This shit was good. I've only had Svijany a handful of times, but this was the best I've had to date.



After that I tried the Rezany (a mix of the pale a dark beers). I wasn't crazy about the dark beer mixed in with the pale. It had a strong taste of iron and not much of the caramel coffee flavor I usually enjoy. The dark may have been better by itself, but I highly doubt it. It was very "meh". I wouldn't bother with it again.

They also have some of the usual pub food (klobasa, etc) but I didn't try any of it because I'm poor. I believe the klobasa was homemade though, which is always a nice touch.

To sum up:
The most relaxing place to drink I can think of for drinking beer. I will return to this garden again (hopefully sooner rather than later). Even if you're a lazy motherfucker like me, it's worth the effort to get here.
