It is better than Guinness or any other Irish stout
if you ever go to Ireland, have a couple of Guinness , then tell me if notice any difference between the Guinness there, and the Guinness sold to the rest of the world. No contest..:)
The Dublin water is different to thew London water - probably softer than the chalky London stuff. They brew Guinness in Nigeria as well I believe.
edit: More to the point, the Irish stouts that are famous around the world tend to be very smooth. There are others, including Black Boss from Poland that is heavy and rough enough to build roads out of.
Here is an interesting beer from Poland I've found under the Christmas tree this year: OKOCIM PALONE.
OKOCIM PALONE is a dark lager, and not, as you may think, a porter. Therefore it carries the characteristics of both styles of beer: its sweet and full body for a lager, but not us sugary and heavy as a porter.
Aroma: chocolate, coffee, spice, caramel. Tastes of coffee and fruit. Color: dark brown. Head: thin light. Overall, a very solid beer.
As I've said, Zubr, but other great beers I've tried have been Czech Budweiser (Budvar) mentioned above, Kingfisher which is an Indian beer and Tsingtao, Chinese. Many Asian beers are good, all of a reasonable quality. I used to drink Suntory or Sapporo. I quite liked Moosehead when I tried it, a nice Canadian brew. Poland is right up there with the best. Zywiec in Zywiec went down a treat
i'll have to keep an eye out for those... thats one of the things that i miss about england is the fact that i could have pretty much any beer from all around the world.. now i either have to pay some extortionate prices for an average forign beer or settle for the regular polish stuff..dont get me wrong the polish beer is all right but i like to experiement..
You should have no problems with finding them in your local piotr i paweł super market. If you like to experiment try also Koźlak, Książęce, Kasztelan or Frater.
Thanks for the info but could you tell me if there are any piotr i Pawel stores in katowice i've been here for about 6 month's now and i have never heard of that shop....
Did Smirnoff not do sth like that all those years ago? Shandy is still great. The lemonade dilutes the beer but u end up drinking more in the long run as it's more drinkable, goes down faster and more easily. So, anybody heard of Goolman?
LOL the one with Lenin's head in the window? I thought that was more of a cafe, but I did see people drinking in there. I think it's across the st. from Morphine, correct?
in polska last year,iwas drinking a dark colured larger,any body help with the name?and how can i make a hot beer,taste very nice.whats the herbs they put in with the beer?i had it in zackpany.
