Hi all,

Just to let you know that top quality beer made in Cork and imported from Poland is available readily from Pubs, Shops, etc etc.

Mainly,

Zwyiec,
Tyskie,

That I can see, I'd like to see Warka though.
Though, its great we have a good selection compared to 20 years ago.

Any other places in Ireland where you can find Polish Beers on tap at your local?

Oh Gods I hope not!
Heineken bought my Fav local beer recently.

Beamish

It will still be made...just by a Dutch Company (granted still in Cork, but it's, just, not the same ;) )

I thought they bought it years ago, about the same time Fosters, or someone, bought Murphy's.

That's the whole reason it started getting pushed in UK pubs. I was in Cork about 18 years ago when they first started plugging draught Beamish in London (when you couldn't get it draught outside of Cork). "Beamish: sold in 100 pubs in London, so buy it at London prices!" Quite good at 1 pound a pint, made it 50-60p cheaper than a Guinness at the time.

I was in my home town for a visit around a month ago, in wethersppons and I asked for a bottle of zywiec, the barmaid didnt know what the hell I was on about as she'd never heard it pronounced properly before. With a sufficient amount of pointing she finally clicked.

Ha ha ha, I never thought of it before, just took it for granted.

Jeez it's difficult to pronounce in English "Zełyk"

Regarding Zywiec,
my Polish friend says it so it sounds like: Jihv-ee-ets

Is that close?

So I would not have to point at a bottle to get served? :)
Great!

Beamish had the rights to make Fosters and Miller here in Ireland.
Heineken did buy Murphys a few years ago and now they bought Beamish
Had a pint today of the new owners go, its good. :)

Seems they were owned by Elders, Australian company who own Fosters, for a while.

I didn't realise how big Beamish had been in the past

wikipedia (so it must be true): Beamish and Crawford's "Cork Porter Brewery" prospered, and by 1805 it had become the largest brewery in Ireland and the third largest in the United Kingdom as a whole. In 1805 its output was 100,000 barrels per annum - up from 12,000 barrels in 1792.[

Last day of the brewary was yesterday...100% production now moved one mile down the road to the Murphys (heineken Ireland) brewary now.

Are there any Polish Brands brewed outside of Poland?
