Pivní Galerie Praha Holešovice The Pivni Gallery is a living exhibit to a traditional Czech handcraft beer. Forget about Bohemian crystal, costume jewellery, or shoes; when it comes to tradition, Czech beer has had well-lagered reputation for centuries:Czechs have been brewing for the last 2000 years and neither wars, plagues, or threats of eternal excommunication by the pope have been able to stop them. Over one hundred years ago, the country was home to around 1200 breweries, producing for both domestic and foreign consumers. Although the total number of breweries has dropped to less than 70 since then, Czech brewing is much more than Pilsner Urquell or Budweiser - Budvar. Although these two breweries are internationally known, there are still many other small and medium-sized breweries throughout the country. The goal of the Pivní Gallery is to be a common platform where these smaller breweries, many of which are available only within a limited region, can present their craft to the thirsty consumers. An Artiste wooden palette, with holes for seven bottles of beer, is the logo of the Pivni Gallery. It was chosen by the owners to symbolize the wide variety and range of beers still available from the country´small and medium-sized breweries. Currently, visitors to the Pivni Gallery can choose from between more than 180 brands of beer selected from the portfolios of 34 breweries. The wooden palette is more than symbolism. Visitors can take a specially designed palette home with them after filling it with their own selection of Czech beer. In addition to the palette, a range of wooden gift boxes is available. Glasses, steins, and other beer - related paraphernalia are also for sale. Beyond the 180 brands on the shelves, the Pivni Gallery is developing its own range of specialty beers to fill the holes in the customized palette. Each of these beers will bear the Galleries own label and be produced in a small independent brewery. The first of these seven beers is already available. It was produced by the Broumov-Olivetin brewery. Six additional beers are to follow during the next year. The hope is that the Gallery will become both a showcase for small and medium-sized brewers and provide visitors both Czech and foreign a taste of a living Czech tradition.
