No working during drinking hours! A well-extended Happy Hour was right over at Nikkei Rockwell last Wednesday evening as they introduced Pilsner Urquell Night. How can anyone think about the stresses of work or business when unlimited round of Pilsner Urquell beer is available for less than a bucket.
Last March 14, 2018, corporate crowds and friends huddled their groups at Nikkei restaurant in One Rockwell to experience the world’s first pilsner. Pilsner Urquell is crafted in Pilsen, Czech Republic in 1842 using traditional methods and ingredients: soft Pilsen water, Saaz Hops and barley from Moravia. This is the birthing place of the first golden pilsner and they have never looked back. They continue to make one of the world’s best bottom-fermented beer and now it’s making its rounds in Manila circuits.
Pilsner Urquell’s pilsner is fresh, clear, and refreshing with a hint of caramel sweetness and fragrant, balanced hop bitterness. Unlike most lagers that give away most of their taste profile at the front of the mouth, Pilsner Urquell teases your with hints of flavors but only develops eventually in the middle, with a clean finish and balanced aftertaste. Take the first sip and let it bring you to the subtle malty sweetness with caramel undertones and continue with the earthy fresh bread aroma hinting at hops and honeysuckle then completed by that familiar bitterness of hops.
From 6 to 11 PM, folks experienced the world’s first pilsner for only Php 799++ and to top off enjoying an unlimited round of Pilsner Urquell, it came with a well-crafted plate of 5-pc sushi rolls from Nikkei. Every succeeding order of the 5-pc sushi rolls were only priced at Php 99. What a steal right. If you have gone to Nikkei in their first branch in Rada St. Legaspi Village, or in Rockwell Center, or in their newly opened one in Podium, you know exactly why this was also a happy hour of sushi.

Beer drinkers only drink on two occasions: when they are thirsty and when they are not. With Pilsner Urquell, one chug is practically inviting you to have another. Follow @PilsnerUrquellPH.
