de gustibus non es disputandum. The best beer I ever drank in Poland is Carlsberg and Corona

corona is up there with cats ********* not drink either.

LOL.
Yes thats it Zywiec, My friend Dawid brings it from NY when he comes down, its pretty
strong, better than most beer I have ever had. I am not a big beer drinker, but I like this one.

I prefer Bosman out of all the PL beers

that is quite a surprise to me, but since I will be in Szczecin in a couple of weeks I will try it again and I will report back. Prior to that I have always avoided that beer when living in Szczecin, even though it was the local one. Hmmmmmmmmmm.....

My favourite used to be Hevelius, but I am not sure it can be purchased any more.

What region would i have the most success in finding these?

In Szczecin. It's great on tap and difficult to find outside of there.

Yes, please do. I remember that I drank tons of this in a beer garden that runs down the middle of the street...I forgot the name of it.

The first Polish beer I had was the first time I went to Poland which was in 1976. Don't know what it was called as it was too long ago. The first Polish beer I remember the name of was Zywiec.

I've had a few different Polish beers since the, Lech, Tyskie, Żubr, Warka Strong.

My favourite that I can buy in the UK is Żubr.

I might have to look out for that. In pubs, if you're a beer drinker, it is always worth a peek in the behind-the-bar fridge just in case they have anything interesting amongst all the alcopops.

My local off-licence only has Tyskie.
"Shal! Got any more of this Tie-ski' round the back?"

My local off-licence only has Tyskie.

The shop I get the Polish beer from sells half Indian food and half Polish food.

The shop has Indian & Polish staff.

It sells Zubr, Tyskie, Lech and Zywiec.

Only because they couldn't make a beer half as fine as these fine Polish beers mentioned above! :-)

True if you're talking about Milwaukee Bud-water, but not the original Czech Budweiser - that's a beer-lover's beer and hardly anything Poland makes stands up to it.

Żywiec has been giving me monster headaches ever since Heineken took over - which is funny, because the Heinie brewed in the same place doesn't.

My favorite beers in Poland - Żubr, Leżajsk and Tyskie, in that order.

I think there is a Czech Budweiser sold in my local super market. If you say its that good I'll have to try it .

I think in the States it's sold as Budvar or something like that - the result of a trademark spat that ended with the American stuff being sold as just "Bud" in Europe. (Actually, I should say "marketed" and not "sold" - I don't think too many people here actually pay to drink it.)

In the U.S. and Canada Czech Budějovický Budvar is sold as Czechvar. [
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budweiser_Budvar#Trademark_dispute

Budějovický Budvar is marketed as such in Australia

Budějovický Budvar is marketed as Budweiser Budvar in the UK, Austria, and Germany

Budějovický Budvar is marketed under the label Czechvar in North America

ZYWIEC PORTER, wonderful black beer (8%). It is better than Guinness or any other Irish stout but none of the Polish shops in Dundee and Perth in Scotland have any of it.

My second choice is Warka Strong.
