Métaphore Brewing

Jiri Sladek

One of the upcoming superstars in European sour beer is Jiri Sladek from Métaphore in the Czech Republic. Another brewery that’s spearheading the Eastern European craft beer revolution, Jiri is incredibly passionate about showcasing his skills with fruit maceration, barrel aging and all the other aspects of sour beer making but not only that as he also has a deep respect for the local beer heritage and isn't afraid to take on a challenge. And to think he’s doing it all in the country where pils is almost like a religion. You could say that’s very 'Prague-ressive'. No? Okay...
