Plzeňský Prazdroj was founded in 1842 as the Burghers' Brewery, where Bavarian brewer Josef Groll produced the first batch of pale lager on 5 October that year - the beer that gave its name to the pilsner style brewed worldwide today. The Pilsner Urquell trademark was registered in 1898, and since 2017 the brewery has been owned by Japan's Asahi group. Visitors walk through historic and modern brewhouses, nine kilometres of hand-carved cellars, and finish with a taste of unfiltered Pilsner Urquell straight from the barrel. The site is the most visited tourist destination in the Plzeň Region.
