Prague, July 31.
Beer is flowing again in "The Flagon," a Prague inn where the Good Soldier Schweik, hero of a famous Czech satirical novel, began his fictional adventures in World War I.
The inn, chosen by a Czech author, Jaroslav Hasek, as the setting for the opening chapters of the book, has been used as a storehouse for the past 15 years.
