Episode 273: Baclav Berka, Head Brewer of Pilsner Urquell

This week on Beer Sessions Radio, Jimmy Carbone is joined by beer royalty – Baclav Berka, Head Brewer of Pilsner Urquell! Pilsner Urquell is a 173-year old Czech brewery. He’s only the sixth man in Urquell’s history to hold this title. His father worked in the Urquell fermentation department so it’s somewhat of a family business for him. Learn about the history of the brewery, Belgian brewers and pilsners as Baclav tells some incredible stories on-air. Jimmy is also joined by John LaPolla of Bitter & Esters and Paul Walsh of Belgian Beer & Food Magazine. This program was brought to you by Union Beer Distributors. “Fresh beer and freshness is very important for us.” [22:00] –Baclav Berka on Beer Sessions RadioSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
