What's your favorite Polish beer?

if you ever go to Ireland, have a couple of Guinness , then tell me if notice any difference between the Guinness there, and the Guinness sold to the rest of the world. No contest..:)

The Dublin water is different to thew London water - probably softer than the chalky London stuff. They brew Guinness in Nigeria as well I believe.

edit: More to the point, the Irish stouts that are famous around the world tend to be very smooth. There are others, including Black Boss from Poland that is heavy and rough enough to build roads out of.

Never mind your FAV polish beer its who serves this that counts (LOL) Merry X-mass to every one no matter what your FAV tipple is have a good one

The Guinness in Ireland is really smooth like milk..takes 5 Min's to pour. Could not build roads with it ..but you could probably shave with it :)

Here is an interesting beer from Poland I've found under the Christmas tree this year: OKOCIM PALONE.

OKOCIM PALONE is a dark lager, and not, as you may think, a porter. Therefore it carries the characteristics of both styles of beer: its sweet and full body for a lager, but not us sugary and heavy as a porter.

Aroma: chocolate, coffee, spice, caramel.
Tastes of coffee and fruit.
Color: dark brown.
Head: thin light.
Overall, a very solid beer.

guinessin london has not been brewed for over 3 years,the best guinessis the extra foreign stout at 8% the other stuff is thin and watery.

Simple answer, Zubr

Well check oou the new website for the polish club in South Boston paccsb.org

IMO Zywiec tastes better than CZ Budweiser :) I do like the dark Budweiser though. For Cz beer I perfer Radegast.

As I've said, Zubr, but other great beers I've tried have been Czech Budweiser (Budvar) mentioned above, Kingfisher which is an Indian beer and Tsingtao, Chinese. Many Asian beers are good, all of a reasonable quality. I used to drink Suntory or Sapporo. I quite liked Moosehead when I tried it, a nice Canadian brew. Poland is right up there with the best. Zywiec in Zywiec went down a treat

At the moment im loving paulaner.
But every time i go home the first thing i buy is a bottle of cobra...lol...Im thinking about it now

Paulaner is German. I'm loving Paulaner, McDonalds English, LOL, I'm lovin it!!

is it just me or does paulner have a hint of banana in it's taste...
lol...its funny since i moved to poland i eat less mac d's

Seansus, try Żywe Beer or Fortuna. My two favourite Polish beers.

i'll have to keep an eye out for those... thats one of the things that i miss about england is the fact that i could have pretty much any beer from all around the world.. now i either have to pay some extortionate prices for an average forign beer or settle for the regular polish stuff..dont get me wrong the polish beer is all right but i like to experiement..

You should have no problems with finding them in your local piotr i paweł super market. If you like to experiment try also Koźlak, Książęce, Kasztelan or Frater.

Not my thing. I was in Deja vu and tried a dark Fortuna on tap and it tasted too much like cola.

.....and yes, piotr i Pawel has a huge variety. I love that place

Thanks for the info but could you tell me if there are any piotr i Pawel stores in katowice i've been here for about 6 month's now and i have never heard of that shop....

Certainly. It seems that you are in luck. There is only one Piotr i Paweł in Silesia and it is in Katowice on ul. Bażantów 2.


Yeah, it is sweet. It's a pity you didnt like it. I actually thought I could impress you with that beer, but I guess not. :)

i know Bażantów and its not silesia its the oposite direction ...

What I meant was 2 Bażantów Street. In Katowice of course.

Thanks for the recommendation Matyjasz. Some of the cheaper beers in Poland are fully drinkable, the names of which escape me. I'll try and find them.

I do like to try different things and it wasn't half bad, but I couldn't drink it all night long. I would appreciate one with dinner :)

safe to assume that Deja vu is the pub you frequent?

Does any one enjoy drinking oobot?

Oobot? Never heard of it mate! Goolmans is really nice and crisp. It's brewed in Lublin I think

oobot... beer+shot or two of vodka = oobot

Did Smirnoff not do sth like that all those years ago? Shandy is still great. The lemonade dilutes the beer but u end up drinking more in the long run as it's more drinkable, goes down faster and more easily. So, anybody heard of Goolman?

It's all good Z. :) It's been ages since I've been to Deja Vu. I drink my Fortuna in my local "commie" tavern. :))

LOL the one with Lenin's head in the window? I thought that was more of a cafe, but I did see people drinking in there. I think it's across the st. from Morphine, correct?

in polska last year,iwas drinking a dark colured larger,any body help with the name?and how can i make a hot beer,taste very nice.whats the herbs they put in with the beer?i had it in zackpany.
