Polish beers
 

Recently I've been getting into my Polish beers. Surprisingly the ones everyone recognises: Lech, Tyskie and Zweic (something like that) are no better than what we currently drink. BUT....EVERY single other one is absolutely superb, generally ranging between 6 and 7%, so they taste nice, but not too strong, I think that's the optimum strength, and it doesn't exist in local beers. Anyway, I highly recommend you try them out, check out your local offy, most places in London seem to do them. These are the ones to look out for:

Zubr 6%
Strong (I know, sounds ironically bad and I would normally avoid a beer called 'strong', but its really nice, really sweet, almost a 'dessert' beer) 6.5%
Warka (Like a strong Stella 5.7%)
Specjal 6%
Debowe Mocne (My favourite, 7%)
Okicim 7.1%

Anyway, if anyone has tried them, or will do, post here and let us know what you think.

I second Zywiec - good stuff :thumb:

You need to try these one's though, they put Zywiec, and all the beers we drink to shame.

never drink beer from a can, tastes horrible imo

local village offy does Tyskie in bottles and it is very good

Tyskie is fantastic. Much better than Stella.

+1:thumb:

I have to say I don't like Polish beers at all.

Now, Hoegaarden on the other hand ... mmmm ...

Being honest,i don't like that stuff

Polish beers (bar all the one's you've all mentioned, did you even read the original post lol!!) knock socks off hoegaarden.

+ 3, 5.6% of goodness and it tastes really nice.

Not sure I have seen any of them bar the one that our asda sells (tsykie)

But then we don't have such a big immigration thing going on up here.

you ought to try some ul ol from danmark, aka christmas beer, it packs a real punch. generally just made this time of the year by carlsberg, its the strength of whisky.

HI SM, you won't see them in supermarkets, you have to check out the local off licenses. I'm sure there are large parts of the country that don't have access admittedly. Also they're easy to ignore and just go for your usual choice, hence the post. :)

the bebow mocne is the better of the bunch imo

anything with warzone written on the can is gonna blow your socks off :thumb:

Couldn't agree more

Prefer the Czech beers myself - but another vote for not drinking from the can!
