I think in the States it's sold as Budvar or something like that - the result of a trademark spat that ended with the American stuff being sold as just "Bud" in Europe. (Actually, I should say "marketed" and not "sold" - I don't think too many people here actually pay to drink it.)

In the U.S. and Canada Czech Budějovický Budvar is sold as Czechvar. Wikipedia.

Budějovický Budvar is marketed as such in Australia

Budějovický Budvar is marketed as Budweiser Budvar in the UK, Austria, and Germany

Budějovický Budvar is marketed under the label Czechvar in North America

ZYWIEC PORTER, wonderful black beer (8%). It is better than Guinness or any other Irish stout but none of the Polish shops in Dundee and Perth in Scotland have any of it. My second choice is Warka Strong.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Certainly. It seems that you are in luck. There is only one Piot 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 ...

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 would appreciate one with dinner :) safe to assume that Deja vu is the pub you frequent?

Does any one enjoy drinking oobot?

SeanusThreads: 22 Posts: 30,160 Joined: Dec 25, 07 ♂	Jan 17, 08, 06:52 #359
Oobot? Never heard of it mate! Goolmans is really nice and crisp. It's brewed in Lublin I think

hu_manThreads: 8 Posts: 155 Joined: Jan 8, 08 ♂	Jan 17, 08, 07:09 #360
oobot... beer+shot or two of vodka = oobot
