Though the Czech Republic is home to more than 100 breweries, it is challenging to find anything beyond a few international mega-brands in the city center. For a full night of rare brews, take the No. 11 tram out to Namesti bratri Synku, where you will find Zly Casy(Cestmirova 5; 420-604-241-454; www.zlycasy.eu), a pub with a rotating selection of microbrews and hearty Czech pork-with-more-pork fare (entrees, around 90 koruna).  About five minutes away, the brewpub Pivovar Basta (Taborska 49; 420-261-222-530;www.ubansethu.cz) serves one of the city’s richest and most full-bodied amber lagers (30 koruna a half liter, about a pint), as well as seasonal specials and pickled sausages (44 koruna). To finish up the night, get back on the No. 11 tram and continue out to its terminus at Sporilov, where you’ll find the Prvni Pivni Tramway, or the “first beer tram” (Na Chodovci 1a), a theme pub with three standard beers and one rotating microbrew.
