Description
Staropramen Brewery's history begins in 1869 when a corporation was formed on September 6, 1869, The brewery building was completed and beer first brewed in 1871 and the brand name Staropramen, literally meaning “old spring”, was registered in 1911.

Extensive modernization took place from 1933 to 1937 lead by masterbrewer Josef Paspa. The fermentation rooms with cooling vessels and large wooden barrels were replaced with modern steel tanks. In 1933, thanks to its volume of 800,000 hl of produced beer, the brewery became the biggest brewery in Czechoslovakia.

With socialism after the Second World War Staropramen was nationalised. After socialism ended in 1989, the brewery, along with the Braník and Měšťan breweries, became in 1992 part of the Prague Breweries group (Pražské Pivovary), which by 1996 came under control of the Bass company. Bass brought Ostravar into the group in 1997, then in 2000 sold its brewing operations to Interbrew, later AB InBev. In April 2012, Staropramen was bought by Molson Coors

Bottled. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of straw and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and straw, leading to a bitter finish. The body is light.

Clear golden coloured, small white head, grainy n/a like nose. Sweet malty, herbal hoppy some vegetables and that’s it. Short bitterish finish. Had many better Czech beers.

Bottle purchased at some potraviny in Telč, shared with ogivlado. Might be 4.0%. Poured a full golden body with a medium sized thick white head. Dry grainy nose, a bit salty. The same thing in the taste, only with a touch of herbal hopiness. Far from interesting or good.

On tap at a restaurant in Prague. Pours a golden colour with a white head. Flavour is of bread, mild hops and grass. Refreshing on a hot day, but nothing special here.

Bottle from somewhere in Prague, possibly the Albert hypermarket in Chodov. Poured a pale golden body with a medium to big off white head that went away relatively fast. Dry rotten meat in the nose. Crappy meaty taste, some carbonation bite. Ugh... fail. Slightly higher overall rating because of who it’s meant for.

Pours a dark amber colour with at foamy head that disappeared after a few minutes. Scent of roasted coffee beans and toffee. Caramel and a hint of bitter coffee, with a slightly bitter finish. Rather thin palate. Still, I often end up buying it with my food at Cafe Sånn. (Shared with Stefan at Cafe Sånn, 10.oct.09)
