Maïsa (I think that is how you spell her name - I don’t speak Czech) was a trainer. For someone who started doing this job in June of 2025, she was super knowledgeable and chill about the whole experience. She wasn’t intense - she was relaxed but yet serious about the craft of pouring. We learned of the different pours to Pilsner Urquell. Since it was just the two of us, we…”
