MAY11(FRI) City:Most, Venue:Jazz and Blues Club
We toured the famous Pilsner Urquell Brewery! Where all good masters (in 1850) of beer came together to make the world’s best and original pilsner is being made. We tried unfiltered BEER made in wooden barrels-awesome! They make 60,000 bottles of beer an hour! AND 45,000 cans of beer an hour. During lunch we have noticed a trend, you are charged a ‘cutlery’ fee (about 1 dollar per person). The food in Pilsen was great! Great quality here in CZ for a small price (gotta love that!). We had a driver AND a translator arranged for the 1.5 hour trip to the club. Ahh nice! It was crowded and small and nobody smoked during the performance (apparently an American artist protested the smokers by threatening to stop her performance last year, so they didn’t want that to happen again). It was the smallest drum set up Sam has had yet on this tour and it sure makes his snare player uber creative! The inhouse PA looked like a stereo from 1970 so we used the one that travels with us for back up.
And here I thought that pilsner came from the Kootaney Glacier ;)
