Wow!

Once again I am whisked away to a brewery in faraway lands via your blog! I know Kladno through my love of hockey and a few players on my favourite NHL teams who came from there or sign there to end their professional careers. SO great to hear a little history and sit for a pint in the mecca of Pilsner!

I think I would like to sample a Kladenské černé.

Sort:  

Yep, you’re right, some of the most famous Czech hockey players were born there. Jaromír Jágr, who you obviously know, bought the local club when he returned home. And he stills play for it the first trier. This guy will never retire!

Oh yah Jagr is a phenom but I am more of a Pleks kinda guy Tomas Plekanec https://www.nhl.com/player/tomas-plekanec-8469521

I know him, of course ;) so you’re a Canucks guy then?

Close! Canadiens from Montreal. Played there almost his whole career and was great.

Oh, ma bad, i knew he used to play for Montreal but i sort of interchanged Canucks/Canadiens. Speaking about Plekanec, he hasn't retired yet either and plays alongside Jágr for Kladno :)
