What's your favorite Polish beer?

You might have to ask the liquor store to check with their distributer.

oh goodness.
for sure.
i miss polish beer :(

i love Żywiec.
(with cherry syrup ^_^)

hehe. and cherry vodka too ^_^

Either Zywiec or łomza

Zywiec rules!

Tak Tak

:D

hey, natalka, you're another fan of Zywiec, aren't you? :)

hehe. ^_^

Tak! Many good memories from this lovely beer :)

tyskie is the best one

Just back from a month in Krakow. Okocim is definitely my favorite beer there. Trust me, I drank a lot of beer while there.

Looking for the name of a POLISH beer? Who's label on the bottle reacts to cold and turns blue like Coors??? I was informed that it was seen/sold at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa's festival in Sept. Any help would be appreciated.

Think that's Zywiec - certainly has a label (or part of) which reacts to the cold.

A customer is looking to purchase the beer that he had at the Shrine??
Thanks for your help PolskaDoll

Zywiec quality has gone downhill. Zywiec Porter is still good tho. Lezajsk, Staropolskie and warka I do like. Tyskie and EB? No thanks.

Vodka all the way!!!

Hooray for Zywiec :-D

Not only do I like the taste but I have very happy memories linked to it from my first time in Poland and a Polish woman I met over there. (and no it is not sex !)

I found 2 new Polish beers today Harnas and Piast has anyone tried these?

I have them on Ice and will drink test later:)

Harnas Piast both OK
Does anyone know what happened to Okocim Zagloba?
I haven’t seen it for a while in a store, so I asked manager. He said that it’s not produced anymore.
Is that true?

Well????? how are they?

If you are in the UK you can usually find piwo po Polsku for around 99p ! :-D

Well atleast you can here in Preston.

Drink well and

then maybe it is time not to have any more."

Me, just this moment. ;-)

Reading this thread has put me in the mood for a few scoops later this evening :)

Zywiec without a doubt!!!!!!!!!!

What's so great about Zywiec?

I buy some Polish beer once a while whenever I get a chance. I bought the EB beer once and I thought that it's going to be a Polish bitter (usually EB stands for Extra Bitter, ESB -Extra Special Bitter and so on). To my surprise it turned out to be a typical Polish lager (nothing wrong with that). Usually Polish beers are very similar to one another - rather heavy in taste, very hoppy, high alcohol. I never heard of Polish ale, wheat beer, etc with the exception of porter - Okocim makes a fine porter.

I think that Polish beer (and vodka) could sell well around the world but they need to market the brands, and I believe rename them. The current names are impossible to pronounce or remember to an English speaker. Okocim, Zubrowe, Wyborowa - no one can enunciate it. I thought that a good effort in this direction was the Belvedere and the Chopin Vodka.

PS. Whenever we go out to a Polish restaurant my wife always orders the "O.K. Beer" (Okocim) - the only one she can pronounce :)

Zywiec!

My boyfriend always laughs when he sees them in the recycling bin. They are the only beers of his that I steal.

Also they still sell Okocim Zagloba in Greenpoint in New York City. I just saw it last weekend. Hopefully it's not just old stock ;)

am i the only one that thinks -ywiec is skunk beer?
Pilsner Urguel (czech no?)
Okocim Palone
Lech and Tyskie
Warka Strong
-all excellent beers. uhh zywiec-great pr but it's much better than the beer.


really? i've never come across it, but thank you sir, i have a new mission for sunday.

Zywies is just ok. It has to be cold and finnished fast. I tend to agree with you Foreigner as far as skunkiness goes. Heinekin has the same effect on me.

I prefer Bosman out of all the PL beers and Black Boss as my favorite PL porter

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

But you had to duck to dodge an overhead knur.

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

I refuse to go to any tesco so that's out, but i'm really keen on trying these that you mentioned.
