We\u2019ve been working tirelessly behind the scenes to bring you an overhaul of our website, a spruce-up of our packaging (coming soon) and a brand new e-shop! All of this to create a Czech drinking experience like no other. Now, we can proudly say, welcome, to the Republic of Beer!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The core driving force behind this change was to bring drinkers even closer to the Czech Republic through the medium of beer and its unique place within our culture! Over the coming months, together we will be exploring the traditions, history and people that make our beer culture one of the best in the world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One way that we\u2019re going to delve into these fascinating topics is through our new blog series. As this is a special evolutionary moment in the history of Budweiser Budvar, we enlisted the help of a very special individual to bring these stories to life. It gives us great pleasure to announce that the esteemed beer &amp; wine writer and friend of the brewery, Jonny Tyson, will be channelling his exquisite penmanship to write our blog series!<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div data-block_5eb80399b44f7 class=\"gallery-images alignleft\">\n\n<gallery-images gallery-images=\"[&quot;https:\\\/\\\/budweiserbudvar.com\\\/uk\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/11\\\/2020\\\/05\\\/The-brew-kettles-in-the-brewhouse-Budweiser-Budvar-brewery-1-min-scaled.jpg&quot;,&quot;https:\\\/\\\/budweiserbudvar.com\\\/uk\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/11\\\/2020\\\/05\\\/BB_BEER_RGB_LR_4.jpg&quot;]\" block-styles=\"{&quot;background-size&quot;:&quot;cover&quot;,&quot;background-repeat&quot;:&quot;no-repeat&quot;}\"><\/gallery-images>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div data-block_5eb7e3dc62c8f class=\"text-block text-block alignleft\" style=\"background-color: \">\n  <h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ca4a4f;\">THE MAN<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ca4a4f;\"> <span style=\"color: #7e1620;\">BEHIND THE BLOG<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div data-block_5e6a44fcfd672 class=\"text-block text-block alignleft\" style=\"background-color: \">\n  <p><span class=\"firstcharacter\">J<\/span><\/p>\n<p>onny has been involved in the world of beer for much of his life.
