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

Avastasin, et pole seda reitinud üldse. Maitseb nagu tavaline tšehhi makro tmavy, aga mingi huvitav tubaka nüanss on ka. Joodav.

Can, 5.2%. Bready and metallic aroma. Almost clear dark golden colour. Good stable white head. The flavour is fairly malty, slightly bready at first. Lagery finish with a faintly metallic hop note. Assertive bitterness, but not that high. 636312

Can via Brnenka. Tbh this feels in all respects like a classic mass market beer. But a well made one at that. Med-thin body, medium carbonation. Quite lacking in terms of any character at all. Moderate bitterness and med-light oxidated sweetness, but then basically nothing in terms of beer ingredients. Drinkable, but that is about it, otherwise very watery.

Gyllengul vätska med vitt skum. Svaga aromer av bröd. Knappt skönjbar smak. Positiv stram beska men allt som allt väldigt tunn och vattnig

Pint @ Stiperstones Inn after an evening ride with the TMBB crew. Didn't fancy cask as it was pouring a little cloudy, so went for a pint of this. Clear gold, small white head. Sweet lager malt aroma, continuing to form a sweet czech pilsner character. After an exhausting evening ride in the hills it actually hit the spot, nicely sweet. No complaints.
