Hello !

I was in Krakow 1 month ago in Kazimierz area... every night we went to small area with lots of pubs.... I loved the ginger beer... i saw woman puring in normal beer and then she pured in some candy syrup which was superawsome !

I wonder if someone can tell me how to make this syrup so i will make it at home :)

Sounds awful. Ginger beer is ginger beer - you make it and that's it.

You don't add concentrated hops or barley to a beer?

From time to time I drink beer with ginger syrup and I don't complain. Tastes good.
There are some recipes on internet how to make ginger syrup, but it would be easier to just buy one.

Yes, not so sweet as beer with ginger syrup. Thats what probably OP liked in this beer - more sugar:)
My girlfriends normaly don't drink plain beer. They prefer to add syrup: ginger, raspberry, apple, name it...;)
It's not so bad once in a while.

Ginger beer is made with a Starter and not a syrup. The Starter is a bit like the white stuff you pour in zurek.

Are you still in Poland? You can buy ginger beer at the shop. If not, try a specialty beer shop. If you are only interested in the syrup, I would look in the coffee or alcohol aisle at your supermarket, a lot of times they have syrup similar to that there.

You can buy the ginger syrup for SodaStream in Warsaw (Makro usually have), however to put in beer, you should be very sparing.
