Staropramen is one of the most iconic Czech beer brands, born in the Smíchov district of Prague. The brewery has deep roots in the Czech brewing tradition and has grown to become the second largest beer producer in the Czech Republic. Its name, meaning "old spring" in Czech, reflects its connection to the local water sources that have long been central to its brewing process. Since 1953, Staropramen has been brewing beer specifically for export, with early distribution reaching Austria, Germany, and Switzerland before expanding to the United States and beyond. The brewery offers one of the widest beer brand portfolios in the Czech Republic, spanning a broad range of styles. Among its notable offerings is Staropramen Unfiltered, a wheat beer brewed with 34% wheat malt, specially selected hops, and a touch of coriander, showcasing the brewery's willingness to explore diverse styles beyond the classic Czech pilsner. The portfolio includes both lagers and specialty beers, catering to a wide range of beer enthusiasts. Staropramen's Prague brewery is also home to a visitor centre, where guests can explore the history of the brand and the beer-making process guided by an audio guide. The brewery is part of the Molson Coors portfolio and continues to be distributed internationally, remaining a recognisable name in Czech beer culture and in bars and supermarkets across Europe.
