Perla is now the best mid/large-scale brewery in Poland! Perla Chmielowa is the best large-scale beer in Poland. Zwierzyniec (another Perla product) is by far my favourite canned beer sold in Poland (and the bottled kind is even better). Lubelski Pils is one of the two best 330ml bottles of beer in Poland (the other one is Gniewosz ciemne but I'm not always in the mood for one of those).

Also, the microbrewery in Lublin is the best in the country.

Lublin fares very well in the beer culture side of things. Perła, £omża and Goolman are just 3 of the top brews there.

Wrocław is always a worthy winner :) :)

Er, Seanus, Lomza beer has got nothing to do with Lublin: it is from Lomza, which is northeast of Warsaw and at least 200km from Lublin.

With that said, have you tried the new Lomza unpasteurised?

I must have confused it with sth else, sorry :( I haven't yet, no. Gliwice would be a rare winner for 2016. They are starting to tidy it up so it has a chance :)

Never Lodz!!! This city is full with unpolite people, lots of them are rasists, they hate people from other countries. In the restaurants they cannot speak English.

Why does it need tourists?

Tourists increases the economical growth. Lublin is a city that needs that, like most other cities.

I nominate Terespol as a write-in nomination.

It's right by Belarus. How much more cultural can you get??

Best Emerging Polish Artists of 2016

Merry Xmas and a happy new year to you all.

As we close the year I thought it'd would be a great if people could reflect on the last 12 months and share any new and emerging Polish bands, artists, filmmakers etc they have found in 2016.

Particularly of interest to me is any information on good new Polish bands who've appeared this year as I often struggle to find bands I like.
