Price of beer rising steadily

Czech breweries are increasing beer prices due to the growing cost of energy, packaging and raw materials. Budvar has increased the price of cask beer by about three percent since January and is not ruling out a further increase in the coming months. Plzeňský Prazdroj, the largest Czech brewery, has just increased the price of a pint of draught beer by one crown for all its brands - Pilsner Urquell, Radegast, Gambrinus, Velkopopovický Kozel and Birell. The Pivovary CZ Group, which incorporates the Zubr, Holba and Litovel breweries, will also raise the price of a pint of draught beer by one crown next week.
