What's your favorite Polish beer?

Lech is objectively better tho I prefer Zubr. Zubr is a beer that u buy in shops whereas Lech is sold in restaurants and pubs more. Bear in mind Sean that Zubr is 6%, on the strong side for a 'standard' beer. Lech 'lags' behind on 5.2%, Tyskie is 5.6%.

Enjoy!!

Speaking of light beer. Does PL make one?

They have taken out Lech Lite I think. They tried Lech Strong which I had hoped would be popular, but it never really took off after its launch. Gee, u've got me rubbing my head at that question. Poland doesn't really take the middle ground, it's either +5% or 0 for the most part.

Lech Lite is available in some places.

This is a pretty cool PL Beer page. I think maybe some of this stiuff isn't made any longer, but some good info within.

Lovely, cheers for that!


Like the weather.

Super website. The beer produced in Zabrze is very cheap but drinkable. It was targetted at miners coming off of a long shift. In some countries, I'd be scared to drink such cheap offerings but they go down better than u'd think in Poland.

Well, if u r gonna make a nation alcoholic, be as well do it in style :)

Yeah, It is.
So, Piwo jasne lekkie is considered "light" and Piwo jasne pelne is "Full-Light". Both being beer under 6% and under 10 plato / SG (for those who don't want to go to the site)


Poland has many full light beers then. After that, they're all mocny. LOL Light beer in the US is prob like 2-3% :)

U have to look a bit harder to find the jasne lekkie ones. They are by no means mainstream.

On my left, weighing in at 660ml, in Brown, At 6 % is "Zubr"
And on my right weighing in at 660ml, in Green, at 5.2% is Lech.
Ding Ding Ding, round one!

I tell ya, the things I do in the name of science....

Being an American of German heritage I always thought they would have the best beer. However, since traveling to Poland and Germany in 2005 and 2007 I have found Polish beer to be outstanding. We are lucky to have a store that sells Polish beer here in the panhandle of Florida. The Porters by Okocim and Żywiec are my favorites to enjoy in small quantity while Warka, Tyskie, EB, and regular strength Okocim and Zywiec are great drinking beer that blow away nearly all American brands.

That's a pretty bold statement. I can assume you mean nearly all American mass produced beer? Yeah, Polish beer is excellent, but we have many outstanding beers here that people overlook.


Look out for Black Boss porter (Witnica). It's a bit better than the above two IMO, but difficult to find. I'm sure if you can get those porters, the liquor store can get from their distributer.

Lech is not nice, too watery. I like beer that tastes and Zubr tastes unique, I have never actually tasted a beer like it. The only thing I can compare it to is the smokey taste is Scottish Whisky but at six percent, I'd have to go in to training to drink the stuff ha ha ha.
Nice one for the tip.

zywiec is definitely my favorite. I wish they had some more varieties available here in the US.

where does your friend buy zywiec in NY?

Lech and Zywiec :)

Does anyone drink cider in Poland?

I know someone who does, but it's really not a popular drink here.

whats the drink people like to have after work - to relax and get ready for the night out?!

Jeyes Fluid

would that be with a lemonade top or with lime?

Neat.

Probably better than the Zubrowka (Should that be zoo brov car) that I foolishly imbibed last night.

tyskie

Dojlidy Magnat is the best............ Does anyone know where to get this beer in the USA ???? Help.!!!!!!!!!

zywiec and tyskie.

Ah, I remember it like it was yesterday, took quite a shine to the amber nectar they call Żywiec :)

few weeks ago i found smt like this:




strong - alc 6,2% and very good

My favorite

Anyone like Warka?

Old traditional Polish Beer Since 1478

I've tried Warka and didn't care for it. Other than Zywiec and Tyskie, Zubr is ok.

What is that beer like? I like very strong dark bitter beers. Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout is my current favorite. 9% alcohol, I think.
