The Czech Republic is known as the largest beer-consuming country in the world, with 181.7 liters consumed per capita. Beer in the Czech Republic is cheaper than bottled water (typically $1 USD for a half litre of beer), and the country is the birthplace of the Pilsner.
The Northwest Bohemian town of Žatec and its surrounding hop-growing landscape have been granted UNESCO World Heritage status. The announcement on Monday, September 18, means that Czechia now has 17 entries on the prestigious list, Radio Prague reported.
Žatec, known in German as SAAZ, is internationally famous for growing high-quality SAAZ hops. It has seven centuries of tradition in the field and is responsible for a large part of Czechia’s total hop production.
World Heritage Sites are selected by UNESCO for having cultural, historical, scientific, or other forms of significance.
