Have you ever wondered how many life changing ideas originated in a kitchen? We might not have hard data on this, but we know of at least one such idea. Trzech Kumpli brewery was conceived in a kitchen in Tarnów, where three pals from primary school took their first steps at home brewing. Let’s just say that the quality of those first few batches was inversely proportional to the mess we made, but with each new brewing we were learning something new and our beers were getting better and better. We learnt how to select malt, hops and yeast, how to run the fermentation, how to plan our nano production. From the very beginning we treated it seriously, as if it was a small brewery. This lesson bore yielded positive results in the future…

It was 2011 and the first craft breweries were just starting, but we already felt that one day we are going to be a part of this incredible movement. In July 2014 we brewed a first commercial batch in a neighbour artisan brewery. Our idea was to work in a contractual system, where we would use big breweries spare production capacities while learning how to move to our own place. During the next few years we brewed in four different breweries, to finally find our home in Browar Zapanbrat in 2017. We make a great team with the folks working there and our partnership is a real treasure!

Today Trzech Kumpli along with Browar Zapanbrat is a craft-beer-obsessed group of 16 people. We still feel the same excitement we felt in that kitchen years ago. Truly, beermaking is like a virus, once it’s in your bloodstream there’s no getting it out
