I thought Polish beer couldn't compete, but I was wrong

I was always thinking that Polish beer in no way can compete with the beers and breweries from my native Flanders... But since a few days I start to like cold Lech :)

One of the benefits of multiculturalism is the preponderance of wonderful beer from around the world. Today, for example, I picked up a couple of cans of Sapporo (Japan), 8 cans of Guinness (from the Emerald Isle), 6 bottles of some Miller Lime Beer (Amerika), and a couple of Ozujsko from Croatia. They all have their merits.

You might have a point there of course :) Still if I would live in Kraków, cold Lech would be my favourite :) That said, I think Polish beer is pretty awful :(

I like Żywiec no matter what anybody also says. Speaking of Zimny Lech sign on Wawel it was (is?) a pretty clever marketing move but a cruel one at the same time. I'm sure it makes some people smile and some very angry. Well, commercials are about stirring emotions and it was accomplished. I don't think I've ever had Lech but now I'm going to buy it. :) Heve fun in Poland Beckski!

I heard Łomża has to be pretty good, have not tried it yet.
The best beer I remember in Poland was from the brewery Śpiż on the Rynek in Wrocław.
I have no idea if they are still in business but the beer was truly very good.

As for Lech - I agree that it was a bit controversial advertisement. On the other side PIS was reacting in its usual paranoid fashion. Anyway for the brewery - mission accomplished :)
