The Żywe Beer is the most famous beer of the Amber Brewery and one of the most successful beers in Poland. Unbridled, spontaneous. Unpasteurized – created thanks to the forces of nature, therefore it retains the unusual character of real, fresh beer. This is evidenced by the extremely short shelf life – 35 days.

Living proof of how amazing beer can be.

The most popular type of bottom-fermented beer in the world in an unusual version. The history of the lager goes back to the Middle Ages. It is a bottom fermented beer aged at low temperatures. In German, the word “Lagerung” means aging. In the Middle Ages, beer was “laged” in cool places, such as in caves. In the nineteenth century, that is, before the appearance of appropriate refrigerators, German brewers dug cellars specially for the aging of beer. They filled it with ice from nearby lakes and rivers, which allowed the beer to cool in summer (also because for a long time brewing in summer was prohibited in most of the country). The spread of lager is closely related to the development of refrigeration. As a result, it could be brewed all year round in more places.

We have been brewing Żywe beer continuously since 2004. It is unpasteurized from the very beginning. This is the first Polish beer recommended by the Slow Food organization and the first to be awarded the mark of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development – Know Good Food. Awarded many times.

Perfect as an addition to lean meat dishes. It goes well with blue cheeses.

Almost no head. Light gold liquid. Sparkling. More malts than hops in aroma. And actually that’s all. Average bitterness. Heavily carbonated, quite refreshing.

Wie der Name sagt (pl.: Żywe=dt.: lebendig) ist dieses Bier nicht pasteurisiert; ob es sich um ein echtes Zwickl handelt, konnte ich damals (ca. 2014) herausfinden, als ich dieses Bier importierte. Es war auf jeden Fall sehr gemütlich zu trinken, da es nicht nur mild sondern auch leicht malzig war. Dabei aber nicht wiederlich süß. Könnte ich wieder trinken.

Bottle. A crystal clear, golden beer with a white head. Lightly peppery, piney and grassy nose with the maltyness hiding in the back. Medium body, semi-sweet, but with a fine bitterness. Lasting finish, a bit on the sweet side. Won’t long for it. 130720

Bottle. Aroma sugary, quite raw worty. Colour is clear golden. Taste is also pretty raw wort, yeasty, as if unfinished. Not bad though. Finish mostly malty. Overall shortage of hops in my opinion.

obleśne i obrzydliwe piwo. Śmierdzi etanolem jak z ratyfikowanego spirytusu. Na nic się zda brak pasteryzacji skoro w tym piwie dominuje alkohol i cukier, który nie przetwożono go do końca na jeszcze większy procent. Wygląd ciemno żółty i piana szybko znika. Finisz nadmiernie alkoholowy. Mi to wszystko przeszkadza. Nie poecam tego żywego piwa.

Bottle. Pours clear goldn with unstable white head. Light aroma of hop with a skunky and boozy note. Bitter, hoppy taste with cardboard finish. Not bad as such, but not really my type, either.
