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?

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

Sorry, this is not about Polish beer but we've had 13 pages already.

Asian beer? Of the Japanese beers, I liked Sapporo. It rolled back just nicely. Asahi Super Dry, whilst modelled on German beer (which I like), didn't cut it. It just wasn't refreshing. Suntory, yeah, very good but the whisky was the real revelation. Kirin was up there with Sapporo, especially ichiban. The name does tell u why. Kirin is giraffe in Japanese, useless trivia. I can't knock Japanese beer.

There was a restaurant in Hiroshima called Asian Kitchen which had most of the standard Asian beers. Chang and Singha were very tasty, although better in Thailand. Tiger from Singapore was one of my preferred beers but the one that I was really taken by was Kingfisher.

Zgubi, if u like crisp, u'll love that one. Amber nectar!! I can buy it in Makro or in some other retail outlets. Kingfisher is Indian btw.

What's the local beer in Gliwice, Tyskie?

puercoespinThreads: 1 Posts: 155 Joined: Jun 8, 08 ♂	Jul 7, 08, 10:52 #369
just got Tyskie and Żywiec in this little town in north NJ..can't belive i found it:) best polish beer ever...Piast Mocny..nice bitter taste and power :)

SeanusThreads: 22 Posts: 30,160 Joined: Dec 25, 07 ♂	Jul 7, 08, 10:53 #370
Gliwice doesn't really have one. Zywiec is near here, as is Tychy (Tyskie). Wrocław used to have EB but it disappeared. The Zywiec in Zywiec is heavenly. I prefer Tyskie but it's a close call.

Seanus: Wrocław used to have EB but it disappeared Wrocław has Piast brewery..

SeanusThreads: 22 Posts: 30,160 Joined: Dec 25, 07 ♂	Jul 7, 08, 11:00 #372
I know. Piast are the sponsors of Gliwice but I see no beer of that name

Seanus: Piast are the sponsors of Gliwice but I see no beer of that name We have a lot of export only PL beer in the US like Hevelius for ex.

puercoespin: just got Tyskie and Żywiec in this little town in north NJ..can't belive i found it:) What town in NJ? Ther's tons of PL beer here by my house. I'm next to Garfield and Wallington. In Poznan, Lech pils is money :) Can't really find it too many places outside Poz

puercoespinThreads: 1 Posts: 155 Joined: Jun 8, 08 ♂	Jul 7, 08, 11:05 #375
This is more like local brewery..but if you get a chance taste Piast Mocny.. the best if you like bitter beer..

SeanusThreads: 22 Posts: 30,160 Joined: Dec 25, 07 ♂	Jul 7, 08, 11:05 #376
Hevelius, could that be like Fosters? The Australians hate Fosters and export it en masse but I think it's alright. Victoria Bitter (VB) is a top class Aussie beer. They excel in microbrews.

Perła mocny is a local brew here around Lubelski and I have stopped drinking it, as it is 9% and used to knock your socks off.
I remember one time I went out for a night with a group of students, and we were drinking it all night.
The next morning I was teaching with the same group who had been out with the night before, and when the next teacher came in for her lesson she said it spelt like a brewery.

ukpolska: 9% My style :) Not many countries can keep up with PL and the US when it comes to strong brews.

Zgubiony: What town in NJ? Ther's tons of PL beer here by my house. I'm next to Garfield and Wallington. i know it but i live in Newton..moved here short time ago..and never have been to these polish communities..do you have Piast there?

Thanks ukpolska, I'd forgotten about that one. I don't like the mocny version. The standard one is quite enough. It spelt like a brewery? Hmm..r u back on it again? :) If u like strong Zgubi, u should try Okocim Mocne. Never b4 have I tasted such a drinkable strong beer.

Seanus: It spelt like a brewery? Hmm..r u back on it again? :) No I have been proofreading all day, and I think it's time to give up for the day, as you have pointed out :) Cheers my friend!!

Seanus: If u like strong Zgubi, u should try Okocim Mocne. Never b4 have I tasted such a drinkable strong beer. It's ok ;) I can get it here. In NJ I can find: Łomza Tyskie Lech Premium Hevelius Zywiec Black Boss Perła Okocim maybe a few other export only brews....not a bad selection though.

SeanusThreads: 22 Posts: 30,160 Joined: Dec 25, 07 ♂	Jul 7, 08, 11:25 #383
Proofreading, ouch!! I've done my fair share of that. Gliwice is a Uni city, like Lublin, so chances pop up from time to time. I can understand how the Poles think when they write so I know what they wanted to say. This makes it easier. I couldn't be an all-out translator but I do it casually.

Seanus: Never b4 have I tasted such a drinkable strong beer. I'd love to give you the experience :) I have an 18% that you can prob. put down easily...if you don't mind a stout :)

SeanusThreads: 22 Posts: 30,160 Joined: Dec 25, 07 ♂	Jul 7, 08, 11:28 #385
Lech Premium never really took off here. Maybe it wasn't marketed well enough. UKpolska, on topic, have u ever heard of Goolman? Nobody here has heard of it but I really like it. It is brewed in Lublin apparently.

ukpolskaThreads: 51 Posts: 2,159 Joined: Oct 23, 06 MEMBER ♂	Jul 7, 08, 11:37 #386
Seanus: UKpolska, on topic, have u ever heard of Goolman? Yeah I used to drink it. It has a alcoholic & sweet taste and a bit sickly if you drink too many of them. Brewed again by Perła in Lublin.

ukpolska: sweet taste and a bit sickly if you drink too many of them I get this same feeling from Fortuna..yuk IMO.

SeanusThreads: 22 Posts: 30,160 Joined: Dec 25, 07 ♂	Jul 7, 08, 11:43 #388
Fortuna? They produce good fruit juice here. Almost up there with Tymbark. Fortuna beer?

ukpolskaThreads: 51 Posts: 2,159 Joined: Oct 23, 06 MEMBER ♂	Jul 7, 08, 11:47 #389
Fortuna beer, hmmmm, never heard of that one and just checked their website out. Seems they are going very PC with their "organic beer" and I love their slogan, "Be natural; drink naked. That’s organic isn’t it?" lol

ZgubionyThreads: 21 Posts: 2,037 Joined: Oct 20, 06 ♂	Jul 7, 08, 11:51 #390
Seanus: Fortuna beer? Yes sir. Maty knows about it. It almost tastes like cola...not my thing.
