Our Global Head Tapster Jan Stanik was the first to complete Tapster training with our Beer Master at our brewery in Plzeň. He travels to Tankovna bars around the world, sharing his passion for the history, tradition and flavour of Pilsner Urquell.Favourite Pilsner Urquell pour: Hladinka. It has just the right balance of beer and foam. Refreshing, tasty, and perfect for drinking with friends.

Favourite saying: ‘The Brewmaster brews the beer, but the Tapster makes the beer!’ I think that really sums up what’s so important about the Tapster’s job.

Favourite Pilsner Urquell pub: That is a very hard question because I’m lucky enough to get to travel around the world and visit all the awesome Pilsner Urquell Tankovna bars and pubs out there. And trust me, there are a lot! Some are a constant party like Albert’s Schloss, some are tiny and relaxing like Pilsner Alley in Tokyo. Places in Berlin like Inselgarten, Klunkerkranich and Birgit & Bier are cool urban beer gardens. Anker’t and Szimpla Kert in Budapest also have a unique vibe. And the thing is, no matter what country you’re in, when you visit a real Pilsner Urquell Tankovona bar or pub, you know the beer is going to taste great!
