Pumpkin pancakes and Staropramen in a non-alcoholic version and - does that make sense?

Staropramen w wersji bezalkoholowej i placki z dyni - czy to ma sens?

Brewed in the heart of Prague, the Staropramen brand probably doesn't need recommending. It's a great drink, well-known and available worldwide. But how does a non-alcoholic Staropramen beer fare? Let's see.

Piwa warzonego w sercu Czeskiej Pragi, czyli marki Staropramen nie trzeba chyba nikomu rekomendować. To świetny trunek, znany i dostępny na całym świecie. Ale jak się sprawdzi piwo Staropramen w wersji bezalkoholowej? Zobaczmy.

Good beers are most often drunk with something good, like food, or in good company. I'm pairing beer with food again, this time with spicy pumpkin and potato pancakes.

Dobre piwa pije się najczęściej do czegoś dobrego na przykład do jedzenia, albo w dobrym towarzystwie. Ja ponownie zestawiam piwo z jedzeniem, tym razem z pikantnymi plackami z dyni i ziemniaków.

Cały przepis na placki z dyni znajdziecie w moim wpisie z zeszłego roku

This non-alcoholic beer is brewed in Prague, Czech Republic, by Pivovar Staropramen. The beer is pasteurized and clear. It has a light golden straw color and a tall, white head, which is quite high but quickly dissipates.

Piwo bezalkoholowe warzone jest w czeskiej Pradze przez Pivovar Staropramen. Piwo jest pasteryzowane, klarowne. Ma jasnozłoty, słomkowy kolor i wysoką bielusieńką pianę, dość wysoką, ale która szybko opada.

The beer has a distinctive grainy flavor and a rather strong bitterness that only becomes apparent after a while. A slightly sour aftertaste also appears at the very end, but it doesn't detract from the enjoyment of this drink.

Piwo ma charakterystyczny zbożowy posmak, i dosyć sporą goryczkę, która ujawnia się dopiero po dłuższej chwili. Na samym końcu pojawia się również lekko kwaskawy posmak, który nie przeszkadza w delektowaniu się tym trunkiem.

When buying this beer, I was a little worried about whether a Czech brewery would be able to handle the idea of a non-alcoholic beer, because many good breweries struggle to produce non-alcoholic beers, even though they produce regular beers very well.

Kupując to piwo, miałem lekkie obawy, czy czeski browar udźwignie temat piwa bezalkoholowego, bo wiele dobrych browarów nie radzi sobie z produkcją piw bezalkoholowych, choć zwykłe piwa wychodzą im znakomicie.

My concerns, however, were unnecessary. Staropramen non-alcoholic beer holds its own, is delicious, and highly recommended. It's currently in my top five non-alcoholic beers. I highly recommend it.

Obawy jednak były niepotrzebne. Piwo bezalkoholowe Staropramen świetnie się broni, jest smaczne, godne polecenia. Na dzień dzisiejszy jest dla mnie w top 5 piw bezalkoholowych. Polecam.

Enjoy your meal 😋😉

Smacznego 😋😉

Of the 50 breweries we have here in Prague, Staropramen is clearly the poorest one :) Well-known and available worldwide yes - but so is McDonald's ;)

If it were a fat-free and cholesterol-free McDonald's, the comparison would make sense.😉

I've never tried non-alcoholic beers.
From what you describe, this must be a very exquisite beer to enjoy.

Cheers! 🍻
Staropramen is an OK beer for me, distinctly bitter, and I have never tried a non-alcoholic Staropramen. I'll try it on occasion. I think they have it in the shops here.
But, I will try to make pumpkin polpette/pancakes. Which pumpkins are best?

Yes, Startopramen defends itself in any form. And the pumpkins were harvested at the end of October.

I mean, which sort of pumpkins? Hokkaido is suitable for salt dishes, but butternut is better for sweet...

Unfortunately, I don't know the variety because I got the pumpkin from friends. But it doesn't taste sweet.
