I’m missing a good pint of English beer, so much I brought about fifteen bottle back with me the last time I drove from the UK. Stupid I know! Too think that would be enough to quench my thirst; all it’s done is remind me what I’m missing.
When I try to explain my desire for an English beer to a Polish person they all look at me with a blank expression and tell me Poland has good beer. I’m sorry be that’s not beer its LARGER there’s a big difference. I’m talking about "Ale" Newcastle Brown, Bass, Mackeson Stout, Marston’s Pedigree, Bishop’s Finger, Fuller’s ESB, Fuller’s London Porter, Greene King’s Abbot, the list is long. Just thinking about them makes me want a pint.
"If anyone knows of any good polish beer / ale please let me know?"
Ales are made with "top-fermenting" strains of yeast and Lagers use "bottom-fermenting" yeasts. The taste of the ale comes from the high amount of hops, malt and roasted malts giving them their bitterness.
totally understand you disappointment in Polish beers.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't any better, then they are OK. But being from England must be hard in Poland. My fridge here in US is full of English, Scottish and Irish beer. But when I go back home to Poland I like drinking Warka Strong.
Thank I've not tried Warka Strong yet. Ill let you know what i think of it.
ReplyDeleteTry Lech beer.... one of the best beers in Poland
ReplyDeleteSorry but Lech is a Larger and not Ale.

I'm starting to give up hope finding any Ale here in Poland and think I'll brew my own
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI accidentally stumbled onto your blog and while browsing I found this post. I did a quick search for you and found that Browar Cornelius (Cornelius Brewery) in Piotrków Trybunalski brews a beer named "Cornelius Ale Ale"

Not sure how hard it is to find it in a typical shop so good luck finding it :)

ReplyDeleteThanks I've tried this, me wife spotted "Ale Ale' in a small bar close to your village. I was very excited when she brought it home but unfortunately its nothing special. Thank you for taking the trouble searching the internet for me. Ive also done the same and for a shop in Poznan that sells Spitfire. This is a really good pint that i use to drink back in the UK
