Czech brewers preserve a special tradition of treating barrels
Despite the spread of industrial beer production, some Czech brewers continue to follow age-old brewing traditions. These include a regular, special ritual for treating barrels.
In the Czech Republic, which has a long history of brewing, some brewers are still trying to preserve traditional methods of making the drink, even though industrial production has become dominant. The report comes from the travel section of LSM, Latvia's public media outlet.
Tradition alongside industry
The source notes that the triumphant advance of industrial production has not stopped all craft brewers. Some Czech brewers deliberately hold on to the old methods that shape the country's brewing culture.
A special barrel ritual
One of these traditions involves a regular, special ritual for treating barrels. The available information does not specify how the ritual is carried out, which brewers practise it or how often it takes place, so those details are not included here.
