My fav polish beer has to be Tyskie , and since i live in USA the only thing close to Tyskie is Stella.

Although not my favourite, I've just tried a good one called Złote Lwy (Golden Lions). It's from Gdańsk I think. Quite crisp!

my favourite Polish beer is Gingers ;)

that's a kiddies drink

hmm and well
it's 4 point 5 vol wise
as far as I can remember
Carling is not even that strong
wouldn't give it to kids, would ya

and yes sometimes I get a taste for a good bitter bear but actually rather Czech or German beers spring to mind in that case

Well, he's very active on the 'cut Polański some slack' thread ;) ;) Some just can't conceal their innermost agendas ;) ;)

I encourage people to try Frater by the main Poznań brewery (Kompania?). It's an affordable weissbier.

I don't believe in Polish weissbier. I believe it to be sour ;) hehehe


man you are too much of a psychologist (psychiatrist??)
I believe I should back down from this forum :P

Gingers is just ginger beer with a little more alcohol

Not much different to lemon beer, which is just a shandy

and the truth be known... i love gingers... it goes down very easily

Is it only me who doesn't like Tyskie very much?

I like Tyskie but have gone off it as it is way too gassy. It gives me heartburn and is 'awkward' if I have one before classes as part of a pub lunch. Forgive me, I'm British and we sometimes do that kind of thing.

Considering the number of Polish beers that's on offer here, I would say Tyskie and Karpacki. The latter one because it's rather cheap over here (4 cans for 5 Euros, which is cheap for Dublin) and tastes surprisingly good.

Edit: I don't like Lech that much as it tastes too much like Heineken in my opinion.
Edit2: Tyskie is about 2 Euro per can/bottle over here. Lech is about the same.

M-G (my überbier however, remains Grolsch, because it's from my area in Holland)

Yes I have tried this one, very nice.

Wayne, do you mean Frater? Gumishu, my grandad was a psychiatrist so it runs in the family ;) ;)

I like any kind of beer with at least a 5% alcohol content to get a good buzz !!!!!!!

You can always pour some spirits in.. you'll have your "at least %"...

Nearly. It's from about 20km outside Gdansk, a brewery called Amber Browar. The same people who make Zywe and Kozlak. If anybody hasn't tried either of those two beer: get out there and buy some now!

Is there any polish beer that bares resemblance to proper british ale? All I can find in my local shops is lager ....help me

I enjoy specjal,but it was the first polish beer i drank,But when back in the uk its leech,My father who is now 65 came to poland 2years ago and before that for the last 40 years would only drink bitter,but he loved tyskie so much he asked me to buy in bulk for him from cash and carry,

No there isn't. Your best bet is to buy British ale. You can certainly find it in Piotr i Pawel supermarkets and in Bomi and you can also find it in some of the larger Carrefours.

Absolutely Tyskie!

As we know well, there are many kinds of beer in Poland. I cannot explain what is difference amoung them and distinguish the taste, but Tyskie is suitable for me:-)

Tyskie is certainly ok. I can't easily distinguish either. Królewskie in Warsaw is a bit cheaper than Tyskie and seems about the same. But 'Ciechan', which contains only water, malt and hops, is unpateurised, and costs the same, has real character.

They do a honey-flavoured and a dark beer, but the normal one with the green label is a revelation compared to the usual bland and chemical-tasting Polish fare.

Yees, I know and I like it too:-) I think Ciechan is unfiltered beer (they are not filtered well after the fermentation process).

Hmm... it is hard to say which beer is No.1 because most of polish beers are tasty:-)

Lubię bardzo tyskie.

tyskie e lech bardzo dobri

It's because they all are a variant of one standarized beer, produced by three major companies, on exactly the same production lines :-(

I used to like Palm ...but Kielce Brewery has been bought a couple of years ago by one of the Big Three breweries, and they decided to stop production of such extravagant beer. By the way, they also "stole" other beers brewed in Kielce, like Gingers or Frater, started production in some other anonymous brewery, and closed Kielce Brewery :-(

From some time, my favourite taste, different from Tyskie and company, is Perła (Pearl) of Lublin Brewery.

(edited: Palm wasn't strictly a Polish beer, for it was licence-produced, and the brewery in Kielce was Browar Belgia)


Yes, stolen from Kielce, grrr!.. :-/

Tyskie

£1 a can here

When I was in Zabrze a few years ago ,I enjoyed "Sląskie Super Mocne" with 9% alcohol.It was a pale lager and quite refreshing.

Silesia has some decent brews. Asides from the giants in brewing, there are many hidden gems. You just need to know where to find them.
