Pragomost were a Czech soft drink brand, generally producing a higher-end alternative to the obvious brands like Coca Cola, Pepsi, RC, and in the Czech Republic, Kofola. The company was owned by F.H. Prager, who specialize in alcoholic cider. "Sipek" means "rose hip" in Czech, although what that has to do with the famous Russian-American anarchist Emma Goldman (the woman pictured on the bottle) I have no idea. Many people might wonder what she might think about being a brand, although having said this, she actually owned an ice cream shop for a time, albeit not in Prague. Emma Goldman actually isn't the only far-left political figure to be portrayed on a Pragomost bottle, actually, as Frida Kahlo and Kathleen Cleaver were used for other varieties of Pragomost soda. As of this writing (2024) it looks like F.G. Prager are no longer using the Pragomost brand, although they have now branched out into soft drinks under their main brand.

No, I'm not a student at Bradford, and never have been, but I do have friends there. I took this shot more or less randomly, and amazingly it came out nicely, even though I was using my built-in flash at close range. Okay, so Old Speckled Hen is a recent development, not an old authentic English ale at all, but it is a NEW authentic English ale!! :-) It's also very good.
