The coopers of Pilsen begin their historic annual barrel-making
10.9.2025 - 13:50
At Pilsner Brewery, new coopers are initiated with a symbolic slap or a strike on a handcrafted barrel. After three years of training, they join the eight-member cooperage team. The ceremony takes place during the traditional tarring of oak barrels, which disinfects them and helps preserve the beer’s flavor.
