"The brewery, producing mainly Měšťan and Pražan beers, was canceled in 1998, and production was moved to Braník. Today, the brand Sládkův měšťan is produced to a lesser extent in Staropramen. The first coaster is decades old and yellowed due to the rough materials of the time and probably also due to a little beer. It evokes in me the memory of my first beer experiences, during which, among other things, there was also an extended Prague in Prague and its surroundings, especially in the so-called "fours". The second coaster, on the other hand, is from recent years before the brewery closed." from http://www.fotodoprava.com/ptacky_praha1.htm

Pražské pivovary n.p. consolidated Prague breweries under the post-1948 national-enterprise system; Holešovice was one of its plants.
