Basically, any draft beer will be excellent in Poland, if you see Debowe give it a shot, one of my favourites is Lech on draft. Enjoy Zakopane, I loved it, try the big kebabs on skewers and you have to try Soplica shots! Edit, I'm fairly sure that there are a couple of regional beers that were excellent. Tried both Debowe and Lech last night; like nectar compared to the local drivel served back home. Away for a hike today in local mountains but vodka tasting booked for tonight.

It was purely for comedic purposes, I'd always come back with a Tyskie or Zywiec instead...a joke's a joke, but you've still got to enjoy the beer! 🤠 Edited August 3, 2022 by A Boy Named Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooft, it's been a few years, but Lech was always a struggle for me. Could have been I was always already guttered by the time I got onto it 🤠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddysBar Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 My best ever pint was actually a bottle of beer rather than a pint. I was working in France in 1994 and it was seriously hot. I was putting big tents up on a campsite. A French lady gave me a freezing cold bottle of ‘33’ lager, I absolutely knocked it back. So refreshing. Think she was quite tidy as well.
