This chapter explores the rich history and cultural significance of Czech beer, focusing specifically on the origins, evolution, and social practices surrounding beer consumption in the Czech Republic. It traces the beginnings of beer brewing in the region, highlighting the introduction of hops by Slavic settlers and the establishment of Pilsner as a dominant beer style in the nineteenth century, particularly through the pioneering work of brewers such as Josef Groll or Frantisek Poupe. The chapter delves into the socio-political impact of beer culture, noting how communal drinking practices, encapsulated in the phrase ‘jdeme na jedno’ (let us go for one), serve as a reflection of Czech identity and social cohesion. Furthermore, it examines the transition of the beer industry through various historical epochs, including the effects of World War II and Communist rule, leading to the contemporary craft beer movement and the resurgence of interest in quality brewing. Ultimately, the study positions Czech beer culture not only as a national treasure but also as a vital element of social interaction and community bonding in Czech society.
