If you've come to Plzeň on a beer pilgrimage, then another essential port of call is a beer garden lunch at this spiffy microbrewery. Meals include well-priced steaks and salads but the highlight is the drinks menu: homemade light and dark beers, including a very good 11° nonfiltered, nonpasteurised light lager.
