The Hoppy Hours

Bespoke craft beer tastings in Prague.


About us

How an evening goes

01

We start light

A cold pale lager and the story of why the Czech Republic does them best. Water, malt, and brewers who refused to modernise.

02

It gets interesting

Pour by pour we work through styles many visitors never try — ales, sours, inky black stouts, and centuries of history.

03

You won't leave hungry

We pair each beer served with an amuse bouche chosen to complement its flavour, and we'll advise where's next to keep the party going.

Prague, Czech Republic

I spent 10 years as a Pilsner Urquell bartender and became a finalist in the Pilsner Urquell Master Bartender competition. After learning everything I could about the world of Pilsner-style beer, it was time to explore other styles. I now work behind the tap at a small brewery near Prague. People do ask about beer from time to time — but honestly, it still doesn't quite satisfy my need to talk about it!

Edinburgh, Scotland

While I may not quite qualify as a local yet, I've been living in the Czech Republic for 12 years now. I chose my adopted home for a variety of reasons but beer is high on the list! While here I have been lucky enough to augment the most boring IT jobs imaginable with homebrewing, beer tours, private tastings, and simply going to the pub and calling it "research".

Sound like your kind of evening?
