There is a gentle stream that flows through the cobblestone streets of Prague, carrying the scent of wild hops and stories from centuries ago. It is not the Vltava River that sparkles under the streetlights, but the golden river called Branik Svetly – the gentle whisper of the brewers, encapsulating the quintessence of Europe in every crystal clear drop.

That flavor does not need to be ostentatious, because true beauty always comes from simple things: from the sweet resonance of golden malt, from the delicate dance of Saaz hops, and from the moment the smooth white foam gently kisses the glass as a charming greeting. This is not just a glass of beer, but a ticket to take you to cozy beer bars where laughter echoes in the flickering candlelight, where each sip is an untold story, inviting you to gently touch your lips and explore.

1. Branik & Staropramen Echoes from the Heart of Prague

1.1. Journey of a Beer River: History of Staropramen

Listen… from the depths of Old Town Prague, a gentle stream that began more than a century ago. It is the stream of passion non-stop, named Staropramen.

It all started in the year 1869, when Prague’s first large industrial brewery – “Pražský pivovar v Smíchov” – was born with pride. It was not just a brick and steel structure, but a promise of pure gold for the heart of Czechoslovakia.

Then time passed quietly, until the year 1913, a new name – a new destiny – was born: Pivovar Staropramen – Nguon Co Brewery. The name is like a gentle song, inspired by the legendary ancient stream, vowing to preserve the original quintessence of heaven and earth.

The 20th century with its ups and downs, Staropramen stood firm steadfast through many events, from the privatization period, nationalization, and then back to private arms in the 90s. 1992, that flow merged into the ocean when touched by the British Bass Group, opening a new chapter full of promise. And then, when entering the new millennium, Molson Coors became a solid companion, bringing the taste of Prague to all five continents and four seas.
