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 at Rokfort Étterem, Budapest. Aroma of grainy malt, hay. Flavour is moderate malty sweet and moderately bitter. Acceptable if unremarkable Pilsener.

Bottle from the lager section of Asda. Semi hazy gold with small white head. Aroma has modest sweet wheat malt with a floral and spice noted hop. Taste of wheat, brown bread, dust, sweet flora, light herbs. Modest bitterness. Near medium bodied, moderate to fine carbonation. I think your average English lager drinker will find this too 'muddy' in taste for their liking as its not clean and crisp like a Pils. Much more flavoursome than the standard Staropramen though.

Tap at Little Owl, near NEC, Birmingham. Pours clear gold, small white head. Turned out to be a decent malty lager with slight bite on the finish. Notes of cereals and bread. No off notes. Solid stuff.
