What's your favorite Polish beer?

ill give ti a try than

The premium one is the best as the name would suggest :)

The midrange and low-end beers are ok here. Kasztelane and another beginning with K got me interested in the whole pasteurised/unpasteurised thing. One is and the other isn't. It turns out that unpasteurised fits the Polish model better as it doesn't last for that long (like the bread) but tastes better.

Brok beer has a high alcohol content of 7.2%--This is sure to give anyone a good buzz.

That looks a very refreshing brewski Eurola. Some of the county fairs are now selling deep-fried beer. It sounds so nasty! I wonder if it's been experimented on Polish beer...

How do you make a deep fried beer? I had 'deep-fried ice cream' but a beer? I'm puzzled.

I'm brave enough to try different foods and beverages, but not deep-fried beer. That's just wrong, lol.

"Mark Zable hasn't revealed how he keeps his beer liquefied throughout the frying process, but samplers had no doubt they were biting into beer. Each salty ravioli releases a geyser of warm, sour beer when chewed. Since the unexpected presence of liquid in one's mouth is typically an indicator of a medical malady, reactions to the dish were mixed"

OK, so it is more like a deep fried salty beer ravioli...maybe I would have a one to taste what the heck it is. Jeez, what do they come up with next? Anything to keep the people FAT and make money? lol.

here is how to deep fry beer-----The beer is placed inside a pocket of salty, pretzel-like dough and then dunked in oil at 375 degrees for about 20 seconds, a short enough time for the confection to remain alcoholic.

When diners take a bite the hot beer mixes with the dough in what is claimed to be a delicious taste sensation

sounds good enough to try!!!!!!!

Tyskie

A little off topic but have any of you that live in British Isles tried Okells Bitter? It's brewed in Douglas, Isle of Man and is available in some towns in England. I thought it had a great flavor. Alcohol is 3.7%. Another brew from the same town is Bushy's but I did not try it.

Bushy's Brewery on the Isle Of Man brewed a special ale. Called Golden Oldie, the first batch sold out immediately. Looks like it's worth a try.

Merged thread:
Probably the best beer in PL and its from Prague

After tasting many beers in Pl, with the exception of Hevalius ( pilsner )which I believe now, is discontinued. My favorite is Czech " Staropramen " certainly a beer that is going to get people laughing. They have just started stocking it, in my local Carrefor so I will smiling more often...

Which beer brings out the smile in you?

They've got little bar/restaurants all over the place in the Czech Republic called Beerpoints. Knock back a couple granats and then head back to work...ah, Czech lunch breaks :)

I am assuming grenades are a measure of beer lol

Granat is a tasty Vienna lager done by Staropramen. Good stuff. Tastes a lot like Dogfish Head Amber Lager (yummy).

Today I bought Guinness, brewed in Dublin, at a discount price. Two cans.

I opened one and tried the contents.

I thought I should pour it down the drain, but I drank it, because I am really mean and my policy is - no purchased food or drink is wasted in my house, no matter how awful it tastes.

Now I am wondering what I should do with the other can.

The possibilities are the following:
1. Throw it away.
2. Present it to sb.
3. Drink it up.

What do you propose?

Why did you not like it?

Ice cold Corona with a slice of lime and Grolsch ;-)
OK, the best Polish beer is Tyskie.

First of all, when I poured it down the glass, I thought I had bought some coffee drink. The taste was horrible - so insipidly bitter, and almost still.

Never again.
Sorry.

It is an acquired taste, have another 4-6 pints, and all will be well!

Yes, exactly. I was born and spent most of my life in Poland, not Ireland.


No, thanks. :):):). I am too old to change my acquired tastes. :):):)

Only Polish beer for me, please.

the proper test. pour the beer... get a fountain-pen (no other pen will work)...write your name on the head/froth...drink...take a photo of your name at the bottom of the glass.

it really does work. strange but true.

I was born and spent all of my life in Canada, not Ireland, and I like it! First one (20+ years ago) wasn't that enjoyable, second one was a little better and so on and so on.... Now I got four of them sitting in my bar fridge most times, sitting peacefully and harmoniously beside the Żywiec.

It would depend wether you disliked the Guinness because

1. The quality was sub-standard in your opinion, after tasting Guinness over the years.
2. You just don't like the taste of Guinness.

if,

1. I would draft a letter to CEDC ( Central European Distribution corp ) who are the distributors of Guinness in Poland, explaining your reason(s) for finding the contents sub standard, together with the second can as a sample.

2. Bearing in mind your frugality, you have to give the second can away as a present, but only to someone you want to -**** off...

Hope it assists in your decision.

He could always send it (Postage Paid) to me.

I have found the best to be Bosman. A hot day on the coast and "Force 10 on the Richter Scale"

"Perla Chmielowa Pils was a lot more mild than other Polish beers, which was ironic, because this had more alcohol than any other I've had, At 6.2%. I barely noticed it. Seeing as how it was a half-liter bottle, you'd think I would've had some effect from the alcohol, but I didn't. I don't know, maybe it wasn't really 6.2%."I was quite enjoyable.

if in warsaw try Konstancin. I'm also a big fan of Raciborskie. two lesser known beers that taste excellent.

It's a bit sweet for me, but from the same brewery there is Twierdzowy which is considerably more bitter. Also, at 4.5%, it's not too strong so good if you want to have a longer session, or want to have a few beers before going to the football or meeting someone for dinner.
