Looking back at beer events
6.12.2024 Tap-takeover Hostinec Malý Růžek, Hradec Králové
10 types of beers on tap, competition, full pub, great evening :) Half of the beers were sour beers, but 4 kegs were still drunk during the evening. Very kind meeting with Ondra from Pivní Lednice, Minipivovárci and guys from Pivní Ambasáda in Pardubice - so try to guess where I will have the next TTO?
13.12.2024 Tap-takeover Pivní Zastávka, Praha
It's always a great time in Prague, I have a lot of beer friends from my 2-year stint at the Řeporyje brewery, so I couldn't wait to see each other again after a long time. The nicest surprise was an actor Marek Taclík, of whom I am personally a big fan. He also arrived at the event and praised my smoked gose Get Up :)
25.9.2024 Beerclub Pivovar Raven, Plzeň
The invitation to the most famous Pilsen microbrewery was impossible to refuse. A guided tasting interspersed with stories about the creation of the TamTam brand, my beer journey and experiences. After two hours, the story turned to listening to all the songs the beers are named after and their own stories and personal references to the names. A great audience, who were clearly interested in everything :)
21.3.2024 Nozib & TamTam release párty, Sedm°, Praha
My first beer presentation, only two so far - rye hazy IPA "The Eagle Flies Alone" and a collaboration beer with The Barn - cold IPA "In the Shadow of the Sun" for the launch of the album of the same name by the metalband Innersphere. A great party, although I was very nervous about the first feedback of my beers. Anyway, thank you very much for the invitation and thank Michael from the Nozib brewery once again for everything, for the help, for the opportunity to fly...
12.2.2025 Tap-takeover Žíznivá Gumovka, České Budějovice
A party in the narrowest house you can find in Budějovice, but with a wide group of beer enthusiasts. Michal from Gumovka took great care of us not only in terms of beer tasting. The biggest experience was Mia, a local dog/regular, who I was probably very interested in, especially when I had nachos on the table. The second nice visit was Hanka, who came from Třeboň and arranged an overnight stay in Budějovice for my TTO, I am very pleased with such support :)
And my signature now has a place of honor on the wall above the bar along with other breweries that visited Gumovka.
14.2.2025 Tap-takeover Pivní Ambasáda, Pardubice
Valentine's Day was a little different, but I and the girls behind the bar got flowers :) The lecture this time also had a microphone, so it was even more stressful for me. Fortunately, it usually subsides quickly when there are people around who are interested in beer, listen and ask questions here and there. And yet, it's a conversation about something I enjoy, not like a presentation at school :D A very pleasant meeting, this evening both Fantasy and Reason to Live have officially finished, but let's hope that Ambasáda will continue to regularly buy my beers and maybe we'll meet again in a year and discuss all the news :)
21.3.2025 B-day party Pivní Kult, Brno
We celebrated TamTam's first anniversary in Brno together with a new batch of rye haze IPA "The Eagle Flies Alone" and the first batch of cold IPA "INNERSPHERE". Pyramid God was the last one here, I will release something with exotic fruits maybe in the summer again :) The conversation was quite specific due to the large participation of my family. But the evening went very well, the Brno atmosphere is simply relaxed, friendly, cheerful, simply homely. It was the first TTO ever for Pivní Kult, so I was honored to be able to establish a "tap-takeover wall" with my signature here. :))
11.-12.4.2025 Prague Beer Fest, Holešovická tržnice, Prague
So it was a really good party! For me, it was a new experience to stand on the other side this time and present my own beer. I didn't expect to enjoy it so much. Both days were full of beer, acquaintances, and we had a stand between Raven and Falkon, so we were in great company all the time :) And what was the best part? Since March, we have had a new colleague at the brewery, Matěj, whom Pilsen residents remember from the craftbeer pub KMP. A tapmaster, whom I am now training in our production. And how did you enjoy the PB fest? You just had to look at him at any time, whether on Friday or Saturday, and let yourself be infected and drunk by his great mood. Thanks for being a part of our team!
25.4.2025 Degustation in BeerPeak, Prague
The BeerPeak beershop on Anděl was already sold out in advance. We gradually tasted three of the latest beers on tap, and four more from cans, including the latest cans of Gose Get Up!. All this with ongoing explanations about the beers, refreshments, and the accompaniment of songs after which I name the beers. The crowd looked interested and satisfied, so I left in a good mood too.
17.5.2025 Plzeňský Mazák, Pilsner Urquell, Pilsen
The opportunity to present myself and my beer at Prazdroj was almost my dream come true. The Pilsner Mazák homebrewing competition at the PU had an amazingly grand atmosphere, a whole bunch of brewers gathered and it was an honor for me to actively participate, let alone lecture among such capacities as Pavel Palouš and Mr. Berka. I donated a barrel of Innersphere on tap, which was drunk during the lecture :) Thank you Michal Roud for the invitation!
24.10.2025 Duality Tapping, Výčep Pod Divadlem, Pilsen
With my colleague Matěj from the brewery, we created and brewed a joint beer Duality in the presence of Baru from Výčep. In addition to working at the brewery, Matěj goes to Výčep in his free time to tap, so it was clear that the presentation and tapping of the first keg would take place there. Due to the small space, the keg had to be tapped outside in cold weather. A lot of people gathered and the beer was sold out in record time. Thank you all very much!
5.11.2025 Talk KMP, Klub malých pivovarů, Pilsen
Every autumn, KMP hosts what could easily be called a small festival of beer and stories - brewer's talks. Three monts, every Wednesday a new guest, 5-7 beers on tap, and a room full of people who simply love beer. I've been coming to these evening ever since I moved to Pilsen - as an eager listener soaking every story. Crazy Clown, Chroust, Sibeeria...and so many other brewer friends I've always admired. And this year, after three years in Pilsen, the circle finally closed - I stood on the other side, behind the mic and next to the taps, telling the story of TamTam. It was lively, curious, genuine. People asked questions, joined the discussion, shared their thoughts. There may be no photos from this year, but I'll dig out a few from the past ones - because every KMP night had its own magic.
6.11.2025 Tap takeover Syrovar + TamTam, Sedm°, Prague
Second time in the podcast Tap takeover, second time with TamTam beers in Sedmi°. This time I didn't refill the Nozib taps, but great lagers from Syrovar. The organization was Roman's, so all I had to do was agree and arrive. After filming the podcast, we drove straight to Karlín, where the event was already in full swing. I was again surprised and very pleased by how many familiar beer faces I saw after a long time. Moreover, I simply like these joint events not only because I am "not alone" in this, but because I like to taste something other than just my own on tap :))
