Poland has a rich beer history, with the country being one of Europe’s biggest beer producers – and consumers. Historically, Polish beers followed German and English styles, predominantly pilsners, pale ales and porters.
If you’ve ever spent time in mainland Europe or the UK, you get used to seeing many Polish pilsners and lagers about the place. Beers such as Okocim, Zywiek, Tyskie, Lech and more. They are readily available at the local off licence and represent very decent value for commercial beers.
Of course, Poland has seen a growing craft beer market, probably since 2011 with lots of new breweries, and lots of new beer styles for the older breweries. But pilsners are still very much a part of every brewer’s portfolio.
Our beer was made to celebrate Poland’s traditional hop growing region of Lublin. The name was chosen via a competition organised with the Central Park Alkohol store in Chelm.
It is a cold-brewed pilsner, with a clean bready malt body and lovely crisp, floral and grassy hops that offer a definitely bitterness to the back end of this beer.
