Americans Try Polish Beers For The FIRST Time 

I have heard people say pozdrawiam - Google says this means 'regards' is that a way to say cheers..?

@@DreadnoughtMetal2006 NO!!!

​@@DreadnoughtMetal2006nope pozdrawiam means clearly regards

@@DreadnoughtMetal2006 It's literally "I wish you to be in good health" :)

@@oskarmikaszewicz7248 Its literaly "to health", same as in my czech language "na zdraví". Logicaly, its two words, no eight as you translated.

thank You for nice words about our country :) Cheers!

Kind words from a man from the north. If only all Norwegians spoke of Poles with such respect.

du er altid velkomen her kompis

Byłem w Norwegii Kamperem w 2017 . Piękny kraj

Jeg er 100% enig med deg. De har i Polen flere veldig gode øl og utmerket hjemmelaget mat. Beste hilsener fra USA

Ja piję Tatrę jasna , dla mnie numer jeden na świecie

@@Night-Rider101 Pisze się "spacjĘ", ćwoku.

@@Night-Rider101 wapniak cię robił

Most American (mainstream) beers I’d give like a 3

I was laughing. Tatra is _pijak_ (wino/bum) beer.

@@IWrocker Oh dear... BTW "cheers" in PL is: "na zdrowie" => "nah zdrov-yeah" :)

Taste is an individual matter. In other words, some people like ANTONÓWKI apples, others prefer JONAGOLD apples. It's none of anyone's business... It's important that there is free choice and no one restricts anyone's access to either one or the other... Na zdrowie/cheers😎

@@piotrstanislaw8504 I prefere CHAMPION / SZAMPION apples :P

worst from the worst ones

@@advsttsvda4935 no way

Thanks! And as Polish I like Augustiner, Kölsch and Warsteiner very much!

I'm drinking one at the moment hahah

Tyskie najgorsze z najgorszych 😂 żywiec jest jego nemezis 😂

True...

@@jakubszczepanski8791I would say all of these beers are cheap and shitty. You should try polish craft.

Is this a recent trend? Poland is not know as a beer nation and having a beer drinking cultures with a lot of pubs...

@@henningbartels6245 Beer in Poland was brewed even before the establishment of the Polish state. So the history is over 1000 years old. I don't know if 1000 years of producing and drinking beer is a new trend...

@@henningbartels6245 No,you just heard about germans and called it a day

@@Raimazuki Coming back to the beer drinking culture... I lived in Munich for 10 years... the fact that two normal beers bring Germans down to the level of paving slabs is one thing... Oktoberfest, supposedly a beer festival, but really a festival of drunken boorish pigs...

@@henningbartels6245 In the whole central European Region (and i mean geographically; Germany, Austria, Czechia, Slovakia and Poland) people drink a lot of beer. Poland as a country isnt an 'established mark' - thats probably why you didnt know Poles drink A LOT of beer (but ye, Czechs [especially Czechs; Czech Republic is THE beer nation] Slovaks and Germans drink on average more beer).

As a Czech-German i feel it too, but i forgive them. 😉

Same here mate. Waar in Polen? Ik in Bielsko-Biala. Cheers.

Nederlands is ook een beetje moeilijk - ik was bei Rotterdam (NL) en Boom (België) en het is erg anders in beide landen! Ik ben sorry voor mijn Nederlands maar ik heb nog een maand geleerd en het was ~4 jaare geleden 😅

I dunno, I'm more of a Zywiec guy, but only the Bialy and Ciemne. Kasztelan Unpasteurized is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. Ksiazece is probably my favorite though, but I don't see it on tap very often.

Tyskie was one of my go to beers when I lived in Dublin, as it was €1.50 a large bottle, far better than Karpackie (which was €6 for a four pack back then). Always loved it, until someone mentioned they supported the PiS party? Well, at that point the prices for alcohol in Ireland went up and Tyskie became over €2, so I just started drinking other stuff. Flying to Gdansk though next month, so excited to try some Polish craft beers, not the usual Perla, Lomza, Zywiec etc. (can't do the Polish letters, sorry). Let me know if you have any recommendations!

Oh yeah i like komes beers which are easy to find :D They have even 12% beer. Taste is very uniqe in this dark, heavy and rich beers.

@@motorolka164 komes and miłosław are my favourties

Absolutna prawda

Czy to nie dziwne kiedy Polacy piszą ze sobą po angielsku?😅

What are the best Polish beers? I would like to try them as a neighbour who always like to visit Poland during the summer (CZ).

​@@Runemonk I like Namysłów, Łomża and Perła, but im no beer geek. These are mid price, mid shelve beers and one thing i know is that they're are waaay better than the 3 from the video

​@@RunemonkIt depends on whether you like craftbeer or industrial beer.

​@@UuU6004Zdecydowanie Łomża.

​@@UuU6004those are just a little better than Tatra, Żywiec or Okocim. Its still a mid-low quality beer.

Agreed! Tyskies...the smugglers favorite. Pallets upon pallets of Tyskie is confiscated by customs from various polish truckers coming into Norway.

@@jarls5890 Beer smuggling sounds ridiculous to me as a German, as I get a big bottle of brand beer for 50 cents to one euro a big bottle in grocery stores. Scandinavia should overthink their alcohol pricing, as the high prices obviously don't work. Even with the artificial raised prices for decades, you still are famous for being strong drinkers.

Tyskie is very mid, though that is a flagship brand in my sailors tavern and most of dive bars and it has very consistant quality. :) white kasztelan a nad Perła Export is f amazing but nothing compared to ANYTHING from Ciechan brewery

this not true, we have by rewe Lech and Tyskie hahahah and in our polish supermarket all other beers. Prost aus Frankfurt am Main!

@@analholes77 Yea..there will always be smuggling from cheaper countries to the more expensive ones tho. Buy a beer "out on town" here - 0.5L is €12,-! Buy 0.5L in grocery shop...€3.5,- thank you very much.

Not from the bottle. Especially green bottle.

Temperature of drinking beer should be +7 C and for the dark and strong should be +9 C

I hear you, man! Na zdrowie from 🇷🇴

Myślałem że tylko mnie to denerwowało

And you really say "Na zdrowie" when you are drinking beer with friends? Normal people says: "zdrówko"!

Or if you drink beer with edible glitter, you also need to mix it so that it shimmers golden ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KV2R8QA83oM.html&ab_channel=PiwnaKompania-Podr%C3%B3%C5%BCeiPiwo

It's also for some of the Belgian beers tho

@@malloott It does not only apply to belgian beers (yes we have lots off them), it applys to all beers with (re)fermentation in the bottle ;) And no it does not ony apply to white beers which are hefe weizen (weizen=white) A famous belgian one is Hoegaarden. All Tripple beers have it, dubble brown beers have it,... Soo many beers mmmh

@@euhm I guess OP meant it's not for pilsner or very light ales, but yeah it's for most bottom resting yeast, I'm sure there is an exemption 😉 And yeah, mmmh so many beers

​@@euhmWeizen doesn't mean white Wheat and wheat beer

He does have the extravagant pointy boots 🎉😎

Everything above 8% that's labeled as pilsner or lager style in europe is just a piss. If you are after the taste, strong beer in europe is barley wine style (which is above 13% alcohol) or porter (which is above 9% alcohol). These are dark beer styles. They taste best during cold winters, when drunk from the proper tulip glass. You have to take little sips to appreciate them to it's fullness.

They should try Halne Mocne 10%, tastes like cheap vodka with a bit of beer added :D but no way a random drunkards’ beer like this would be exported to the U.S. lol

ooh I hate Perła

Perła and Łomża is my favourite cheep polish beer.

@@theRAV4000 tried Export?

Only in brown bottle.

my friend made football team called Perła Bytom, they are drinking Perła beer after every win

Trying our best. Cheers 🇵🇱❤️🇨🇿

Funny to read that since the oldest Polish brewery (Browar Lwówek) is 150 years older than the oldest Czech one... So who is the master, and who is the young padawan here? 🤣🤣Což nic nemění na tom, že Češi jsou chytří studenti🤣

@@kamilawojcik6133 neni pivo jako pivo🙋

Poles brewed beer before Czechs 🤷‍♂️💁‍♂️

The most beautiful thing about the Czech Republic is that no matter what pub or shop you enter, there is always some good beer waiting for you (holba for example). In Poland, we learned how to brew good craft beers, but if you want to find them you have to walk around the city for a while.

There's only one polish non-craft beer, which belongs to polish company and it's Łomża

@@bartis17 In the hands of just four companies, a total of approximately 90 percent is held. Polish beer market. Three of them are international concerns - Carlsberg, Heineken and Asahi. The fourth is the Polish group Van Pur. Less than 10 percent medium-sized and regional breweries constitute the market, while the remaining 1 percent - the smallest, often craft breweries or those that are restaurants. Kompania Piwowarska sells one third of beer in Poland. It is owned by the Asahi brewing concern. The Japanese took over the largest beer producer on our market in 2017 from the SABMiller concern. This was the result of the merger of this giant with another tycoon - AB InBev. Brussels agreed to this merger on the condition that SABMiller sells its breweries in Central and Eastern Europe, including Kompania Piwowarska. Kompania Piwowarska brews beer of the following brands in our country: Tyskie, Dębowe, Żubr, Książęce, Wojak, Gingers, Pilsner Urquell, Grolsch, Kozel, Lech and Redd's. Van Pur, despite its "Dutch" name, is a completely Polish company that has been producing beer since 1993. Only from 2000 to 2003 it was owned by the Austrian concern Brau Union. In 2003, it was bought by the original owners and Van Pur once again became an independent Polish brewing company. Van Pur S.A. company produces Łomża, Brok, Kanclerz, Korona and Karpackie beers. The dozen or so remaining beer breweries - including owners of restaurant breweries - are brought together by the Association of Regional Polish Breweries - Polskie Piwo. Its breweries produce, among others, beers: Koźlak, Amber, Miłosław, Fortuna, Komes, Kormoran, Raciborskie, Porter, Spiż, Jubileuszowe and Zodiak. There are still over 200 breweries in our country that are not affiliated to any organization, which constitute the remaining approximately 5%. the entire market.

@@bartis17 How about "Lezajsk" beer? Is this exclusively Polish?

@@jerzyszmal2722 Leżajsk belongs to Żywiec Group, which belongs to Heineken.

@@bartis17 OK I didn't know, but this also good beer

Oh yeah, the best cheap bear :D

Perła Export is VERY good. Miodowa is for poor people that can't afford Ciechan.

Perła Chmielowa - nasza królowa!

I personally also really like Łomża and Namysłów.

Perła Miodowa Perła with honey the best !! From me strong 9

Tyskie is pretty much THE polish beer here in germany. You get it everywhere

That is also considered standard amount of alcohol for a Polish beer and i remember that Polish Warka Strong was 10.5% but they lowered the amount of alcohol in this one to 6.5% in curently produced version of it. But yea i think Denmark would strugle a loot to win with Poland if you want to compare drinks that have more than 10% as we have beers, vines, nalewki and vodka...

Not even mentionng the greatest moonshine from the east of Poland - 90% of pure flame bro. I swear I couldn't breathe after one shot@@Bialy_1

The strongest drinkable beer in Poland is Komes the Russian Imperial Stout - 12% :) I am buying it when my wife says: only one beer please :)

​@@Bialy_1Warka Strong had 7.8% before the change. It was the favourite beer of our pack back then, in my early twenties ;)

Dokładnie . Chłopaki z Ameryki poszli by spać po jednym kieliszku , o ile go by wypili hehe @@TheBullterrierFan

...and I'm drinking ŁOMŻA is really good beer😋

the only truly polish beer@@michalmaczka5119

A ja tam wolę swojego ulubionego leszka z puchy 😅

Jeszcze Perła , Żubr ,Kasztelan

Harnaś to nie piwo

@@cikuI00 jeśli harnaś to nie piwo to takie tyskie na przykład przestało nim być jakieś 20 lat temu a też jest na liście...

Zgadzam sie ale kiedys w Czechach pilem piwo Lezak "Czeskie Budiejovice".........To bylo najlepsze piwo jakie pilem w Pradze ,,................................................,,mialo 6.6%

How can you be Polish and completely offend not only Danes but also Poles in one post xD bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

Żywiec was good like 15 years ago.

@@GloomyOtter To be honest I drank Żywiec long ago (I mean years), and at the time I was joking with friend what kind kind of rat drown in the keg, was it male or female, how old etc :D

But it was decent back then I think.

Aparently its good compared to american stuff, aparently its literally yellow water

@@GloomyOtter more like 25 years ago

Baltic Porters are to beers what espresso would be for coffees.

@@darek4488 well said!

As a Pole who lived a year in Belgium, I admit that Belgian beer is the best in the world :) A cherry note of flavor, 10%, and cold. Four small bottles disappear very quickly. Just have to be careful not to get drunk quickly :)

@@RokitaBijaaacz Warka Strong was 10.5% but they lowered alcohol content in this beer to 6.5% when Polish people stoped so heavy drinkers as they were in communist times.

​@@Bialy_1Karpackie has like 9% but it doesn't taste that good tho

We have in Poland mass produced: "Fortuna Brewery" - Komes Barley 12% Small production, bock beer: "Spóldzielczy Brewery" - Krasnolód 19% 😏

​@@RokitaBijaaaczWhy the best? You can't compare Belgian styles with other styles, because it doesn't make sense. It's a matter of individuality. One person prefers Hazy IPA and another prefers Lambic.

Danke aus Polen mein deutchefolk. You can come for holiday, just remember to leave tanks at home....actually would you like to sell some for buttload of beer?

Haha y’all corrupted American beer for me 🤣👍 there’s no comparison, these Euro beers hit different 🤩

he knows he loves Tatra trucks :)

I’m a mega Fan of Tatra trucks 😎🎉 I have videos on those

Oh, he knows, don't you worry :-)) He knows very well what Tatra is :-))

What about TATRA Buses? 😜

@@IWrocker To be honest, I'm playing with this idea to take you to our AirBnB here in Ostrava, Czech republic and take you to Tatra museum, or borrow you a car so you can drive around a bit.

:-))) In Czech republic, and other slavic nations, it would be mixed with some vodka shots, or similar :-) perhaps Slivovice even :-)

@@keenmate9719 He wouldn't have made it to three pints if we'd done that! 😵🍺🤪

@@ned_1963 :-))) I know, we are build differently here :-)

@@keenmate9719 now, now. Let's not spoil good Śliwowica (plumshine?) with beer, ok? If you want a diver then blue Absolut is perfectly fine to take a dive in beer.

😂😂😂

Lmao 🤣

Belgian episode coming very soon 🎉😆

Interesting beer-culture...

@@IWrockerMake sure to have the belgian ones on the floor, you will end up there sooner or later, anyway. And ignore the pink elephants talking to you in flamish. Totally normal. Those Swampdutchmen will use pretty much everything they can throw in a pot to brew something that kind of resembles beer from. You have been warned! 😉

@@IWrocker Just stay away from Stella Artois. I know you guys in the US see Stella as a bit of a fancy beer, but it's not and it isn't representative of real Belgian beer. In the UK it's seen as trashy, and it's colloquially known as "wife-beater".

Belgian beers are strong but not good. A beer that reach about 8% dont taste anymore.

And I mean long drink original. Not some strange other stuff. 😄

or J in jaques

Dude.... I can walk out of tram now and buy 10% beer in plastic bottle right now but it AWFUL. XD only certain demographic drinks that, xD

Coming soon 🎉😆

Which one duvel, leffe, jupiler?

They even have CHOCOLATE beer...or Kriek/Lambic, brewed with cherries....very interesting taste. I like belgium beer.

​@@kamiljari111Leffe is awesome
