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

Bottle. Pours clear dark copper brown with airy light tan head. Clear aroma of malt and caramel, with touches of hops and yeast. Bitter, roasty flavour, with estery touches and notes of caramel malt. Nutty aftertaste with roasty and estery notes and touches of fruit. Reasonable for the style, but well, it is a macro and tastes like one.

Barva medena, emberova, velvet efekt se sublimujicim dusikem. Pena vysoka a celkem trvanliva. Vune karamelova az nijaka. Chut sladova karamelova, suchy dojezd, trochu dokysela, ember cosi nevim jak nazvat. Lehke az vodove telo. Takovy vodovejsi guiness. Celkem pitelne

can from Globus Praha-Zličín. Deep golden colour, tall and creamy white head. Aroma of cheap lager, woody, cardboardy and metallic - so I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. Medium-bodied, malty flavours, good hoppy flavours with resiney hints and a pleasant bitterness. Decent job, much better than most of the other Staropramen beers.

Clear and golden with a frothy white head and a subtle grassy aroma. Lightly carbonated, it's both sweet and bitter at the same time, with some light malt and floral hops doing their thing, pleasantly drinkable without being outstanding.
