Polish Beer

[olskoolsoulja]

HI,
Im trying to remember the name of a polish beer.

It comes in larger bottle 500ml or there abouts , It has a white label with a person dressed in folk style clothing , blue and red I think. its about 5.2%
and last year the bottles had a coldness gauge on the back Eg. blue good red bad in a brown bottle . It may start with Z but im not sure.

cheers
Rich

Zatec or Zywiec?

 

[olskoolsoulja]

Zywiec,
thats it cheers mate , that was quick!


anyone got a AG recipe I might make one when I get home?

I think it's Zywiec. My suburb has quite a few Polish people and there's a little bottle shop that sells them. They're always skunked and stale though.

When I was at Uni, I used to work at bottle shop that stocked it. A polish guy came in and asked forit, pronouncing it correctly and I had no idea what he was after until he spelt it out for me.

...the Okocim beers deserves a mention as well....

I knew a german home brewer once who seemed obsessed with invading poland, perhaps beer was the reason..

So, you like the Zywiec from there? Maybe I was just unlucky the couple of times I got it from there. :huh:

well on average over the last 14 years of buying zywiec there it's been good... when it's fresh it's not a bad beer, fruity in an interesting way for a lager. lately i agree theyve been a bit cheesy - probably sweating on the back of trucks at 35C for days before they get there

I used to like it when it was in the heavier more squat looking bottles (that were good for bottling your homebrew too). Probably gone down hill since a Dutch brewery giant beginning with "H" took them over.
