Description
Birbant is one of the pioneers of Polish craft brewing - bold, independent, and driven by creativity. We don’t follow the noise - we brew what truly matters.
Birbant (pronounced ‘beer-bunt’; Polish for ‘bon vivant’) contract brewery was established in 2013 by Jarek and Krzysiek (a.k.a. Kuli), two brewers and beer enthusiasts. Jarek is a professional brewer, who’s worked with several different breweries, while Kuli started brewing at home in 2003 and in the ten years before Birbant many of his home batches earned him awards at homebrew competitions. In their own words: “We have worked together on new recipes for a few years now. Our goal is to make flavorful and exceptionally aromatic beers we would like to drink ourselves.”

Tap (4Hops, Wroclaw). Piwo o ciemno-brunatnej barwie z bardzo delikatnymi, rubinowymi refleksami pod swiatlo, bezowej pianie, calkiem obfitej ale szybko redukujacej sie do cienkiego kozuszka, brak lacingu. Aromat z wyrazna nuta rumu, srednio intensywny i nie za wiele sie tu dzieje poza slodycza i alkoholem. W smaku bardzo zbieznie, gdzie glowna role graja nuty rumowo-alkoholowe i bardzo subtelna nuta czekolady po ogrzaniu ale daleko, daleko w tle. Piwo z cialem choc o wodnistej konsystencji jak na swoj ekstrakt, rozgrzewajace z wyrazna slodycza na finiszu, ktora dokladnie oblepia podniebienie. Nie jest zle ale do wersji po bourbonie nawet nie ma co porownywac, zdecydowanie za duzo rumu/alkoholu, ktory dokladnie przykrywa wszystko inne. Na plus na pewno mozna zaliczyc gladkosc piwa i niezla pijalnosc mimo wyraznego alkoholu ale za duzo to nie zmienia.

500ml bottle. Cloudy, deep golden colour with average, thick, creamy, fairly lasting, white head. Wheat malty aroma, grassy and herbal hoppy overtones, a touch of Scotch thistle. Taste is dry hoppy, delivering identical flavours. Hop dominated Weizen.
