In March, as has become the tradition, the Vicar General of that Bohemian city blessed ingredients for a special Easter batch of Pilsner Urquell. The pale lager was then dispatched to the Vatican, to be handed over to the Pontiff by the brewmaster himself. One thing’s for certain, many Czechs celebrated Easter holy week in part by drinking … green beer. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/prazdroj_pro_papeze.jpg?timestamp=1590333824 https://english.radio.cz/easter-pilsner-pope-green-beer-czechs-8103232 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
