The Czechs are the most proficient beer drinkers in the world with 156 liters per capita and year. A good reason for photographer Dirk Gebhardt to capture Prague’s “drinking cathedrals”–yesterday bars with a mixture of brutal Tristesse and desperate reality. The photos are published in form of a newspaper in black and white, with an accompanying text by Jan Arndt as part of the Prague special edition.
