In Prague, it is still common for a pub to serve a single brand of beer; one can get a sense of the popularity of Staropramen beers in the number of pubs that serve them. Staropramen comprises a large portion of the market, along with Pilsner Urquell and Krušovice.

In Britain, Staropramen is sometimes informally abbreviated to "Star".
