@Kimberly – yep, its worked many times for me. If one person is asking for it, chances are other people will buy it too so it isn’t like they’d be stuck with it. Good luck!

@Scott, thanks! I never thought of that. We live in Texas.

@Kimberly – How thoughtful! Where do you live??? (State)

Be sure to ask a manager if they can get it – many times stores can get a beer for you even if it isn’t something they normally stock. Its worth a shot!

Does anyone know where I can buy this beer? This is my husband’s favorite beer and I want to suprise him with a case for Christmas. I have looked everywhere and can’t find it. Thanks for your help!

Though I haven’t had an opportunity to taste the original, and I cannot compare them, I have to say that this one brewed in Croatia is excellent.
Which is not the case for many other beers brewed ‘under licence’ in our region (Balkans), like Heineken, Carlsberg, Tuborg, Stella Artois, …

Thanks for the news @prenj, even if it’s sad news.

I guess the fact that they stayed true to the contract terms for ten years should be considered a result. And anyone who has read my other postings on this site will be fully aware of my views on beers being brewed ‘under licence’ – away from their (ahem) spiritual home.

Unfortunately, Staropramen is not brewed only in Prag any more, it’s brewed in Croatia as well

Nice job again Bob. I think last time I called you Rob (sorry). It is sad to see when companies take out their wooden fermenters or storage vessel. I know numerous people who have told me that Pilsner Urquell was never quite the same when SAB bought them out and replaced wood with stainless steel. It’s terrible when “progress” is really regress and you end up with a flattening out of beers. Some progress seems to be even colder than the coldest lager.

Good God, Bob. You make me feel so inadequate. I can only imagine playing a role in something as important as ensuring my favourite beer is protected. The best I've done, along the same lines, was fighting off thirst-crazed customers in Dan Murphey's Liquor Shop at Christmas after I grabbed the last cold carton of Toohey's New. Keep 'em coming.

I drank my bottle of Staro just after reading this post, and I agree with everything that you said about the beer. A great example of the style, and a great story! Coops, you've done an honorable thing as well. However, the people at the store were likely crazed because of the thong, not the beer!
