It all started in 1842, when the new municipal brewery in Plzeň, a town in southwest Bohemia, opened. The world was introduced to a new style of beer, the golden lager style, that would go on to revolutionize the brewing industry. Today, 95% of beer brewed in the world today is golden lager. The original is still brewed in Plzeň and is known internationally as Pilsner Urquell. For visitors, the town of Plzeň is a little bit off the beaten track. It's about 60 miles from Prague, which in the Czech Republic, makes it a day trip. The good news is that there is a day's worth of sight-seeing in Plzeň. There is a brewery tour, a brewery restaurant, and a brewery museum. Plzeň also has an attractive historic town square.
