Beer for the Pope

Pilsner beer has once again made its way to the Vatican this year. Plzeňský Prazdroj is proudly continuing a tradition that dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Pope Leo XIII received Pilsner lager at the suggestion of his doctor . Bishop Tomáš Holub blessed the beer before it was sent to southern Europe. This year, a total of 2,026 bottles of Pilsner lager were dispatched to the Vatican. This marks the fifteenth time in recent history that an Easter delivery of beer has traveled from Pilsen to the Vatican.
