European Trip Extravaganza - Page 4 - Budjovice Czech Republic


 
Budjovice is a small town where they make good beers.  The beers got popular and the Germans began referring to their beers as Budweiser, a name the American company Budweiser commandeered.  The original is much, much better, as we will see..

 
They have a fountain in the town square.. but enough of the historical stuff.

 
Inside the brewery, there are massive kettles..



 
Wort control valves.. actually these are from when the brewery was smaller..

 
 Filters and stuff..

 
  Carbonation tanks..

 
A few of which are tapped for the guests..

 
..for our enjoyment.  FRESH BEER!!  Oh yeah, they let you have as many cups as you want.. and the beer is quite delicious.


Onward to the bottling room..

   
This filler/capper carousel does 40,000 bottles per hour.
