As a wagon driver I got to try them all. Special likes Kaper Krolewski from Gdansk,Jablonowo extra mocne(or something like that-blows your head off!!)
Didnt like lech much-syrupy, and hated Strzrelec in Piotrkow. Used to drink Janusz until the found out that rewinski had simply relabeled bottled Zywiec with his own name-only in Poland hey!!EB was good stuff when it was still around too.
Best beer though is definetly British
Our Ales are fantastic and 80 shilling in Scotland was superb,Youngs Oatmeal Stout-heaven.Next comes Lithuania,wow what a choice of flavours, Romania-gold Ursus is great, and Latvia do a good lager aswell.

My god mate ur taste in lager/beer is revolting! I have been to lithuania 6/7 times and only once has the beer been any good, as for latvia! The last time i was there me and my 2 mates and 2 german girls tried every varation of beer/lager that was available and every one was equally disgusting. As for romania, bulgaria maybe 4 out of 10.

In scotland only tennants or maybe carling are even worth a mention, but are so poor when u compare them 2 Zywiec or lech.

For me personally i like Zywiec. The guy in my local off-sales sells me it by the case, and even though he charges me more than the 0.5zl charge thats on the can, i still think its the best lager i have drank anywhere in the world

Well i hope we agree that our beer is way out in front.As for LT beer. They have a very big range of beers and with a choice as large as theirs you'll always find one you like.

I dont know how you travelled but I suspect it was to the tourist areas.Many tourist areas suffer from a lack of range that locals demand.As a commercial traveller I was mainly going to non touristy places and it allowed me to try some better food and some better beer and get a real sense of what those places were really like.

As for LV and RO, well I was impressed with what I tried. O.k so green ursus was not so good but I thought Gold was a very nice beer that compared well to anything at home(then Poland)

Zywiec is o.k but there are many in PL which are just as good.There are 2 types of Tyskie whereI lived and they were better than Zywiec for me.Brok had had some great stuff too,but some of the smaller breweries knocked them for six.Polish beer was much better before the likes of carlsberg started buying up the small firms and amalgamating them.When EB went and Kaper was moved out of Gdansk it was a bad thing for Polish brewing.Its going the way it is here in the U.k
Where i came from it was always a Whitbread or Devenish situation.Now that the former owns the latter all is now lost.

I AM NOT AN ALCOHOLIC-HICUP!

You might have to ask the liquor store to check with their distributer.

Just back from a month in Krakow. Okocim is definitely my favorite beer there. Trust me, I drank a lot of beer while there.

Looking for the name of a POLISH beer? Who's label on the bottle reacts to cold and turns blue like Coors??? I was informed that it was seen/sold at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa's festival in Sept. Any help would be appreciated.

Think that's Zywiec - certainly has a label (or part of) which reacts to the cold.

Zywiec quality has gone downhill. Zywiec Porter is still good tho. Lezajsk, Staropolskie and warka I do like. Tyskie and EB? No thanks.

Hooray for Zywiec :-D

Not only do I like the taste but I have very happy memories linked to it from my first time in Poland and a Polish woman I met over there. (and no it is not sex !)

Harnas Piast both OK
Does anyone know what happened to Okocim Zagloba?
I haven’t seen it for a while in a store, so I asked manager. He said that it’s not produced anymore.
Is that true?

If you are in the UK you can usually find piwo po Polsku for around 99p ! :-D

Well atleast you can here in Preston.

Drink well and

I buy some Polish beer once a while whenever I get a chance. I bought the EB beer once and I thought that it's going to be a Polish bitter (usually EB stands for Extra Bitter, ESB -Extra Special Bitter and so on). To my surprise it turned out to be a typical Polish lager (nothing wrong with that). Usually Polish beers are very similar to one another - rather heavy in taste, very hoppy, high alcohol. I never heard of Polish ale, wheat beer, etc with the exception of porter - Okocim makes a fine porter.

I think that Polish beer (and vodka) could sell well around the world but they need to market the brands, and I believe rename them. The current names are impossible to pronounce or remember to an English speaker. Okocim, Zubrowe, Wyborowa - no one can enunciate it. I thought that a good effort in this direction was the Belvedere and the Chopin Vodka.

PS. Whenever we go out to a Polish restaurant my wife always orders the "O.K. Beer" (Okocim) - the only one she can pronounce :)

Zywiec!

My boyfriend always laughs when he sees them in the recycling bin. They are the only beers of his that I steal.

Also they still sell Okocim Zagloba in Greenpoint in New York City. I just saw it last weekend. Hopefully it's not just old stock ;)
