Let's enjoy Czech foamy beer and the art of toasting!

When you think of the Czech Republic, beer is a must! The Czech Republic is known as the world's top beer-consuming country, and for locals, beer is "cheaper than water." 🍺 Foamy beer is highly appreciated in the Czech Republic! First-time visitors might be surprised, thinking, "Wait, isn't this mostly foam!?" But in fact, this is a unique tradition and pride of the Czech beer culture. Why so much foam? 🤔🤔 In the Czech Republic, foam (known as pěna) is considered the "hat" of the beer. It serves several purposes: • Acts as a lid to prevent oxidation • Traps the aroma • Creates a smoother drinking experience • And most importantly, it's a sign of freshness! For locals, a generous amount of foam is actually the "proper way" to pour beer. You can even order beer based on the amount of foam: ① Hladinka 2–3 cm of foam, a balanced mix of beer and foam—the classic style. ② Šnyt More foam, less beer. Perfect for enjoying just a light drink. ③ Mlíko ("Milk") Almost entirely foam! Sweet and creamy, drinking the foam itself feels unique—almost like a dessert. Be sure to experience Czech beer culture at a pub in Prague! 🎉
