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 (Szynkarnia, Wroclaw). Czarna barwa z rubinowymi refleksami pod swiatlo, piany praktycznie brak. Aromat bardzo intensywny z nutami beczkowymi i bourbona, ktore przykrywaja wszystkie inne jesli sa, bardzo przyjemny. Piwo lekko slodkawe z bardzo wyraznymi nutami beczki, drewnianymi, wanilii i lekko winnymi, bourbona, ktore calkowicie rzadza w smaku. Lekko oleista konsystencja przyjemnie oblepia podniebienie i przelyk a alkohol delikatnie rozgrzewa od srodka. Piwo jest z gornej polki i jak na swoja moc bardzo pijalne choc nuty ris’owe zostaly stlumione przez wyzej wspomniane a subtelna czekolada jest daleko w tle. Ogolnie super piwo a lezakowanie w beczce nadaje piwu gladkosci i swietnych akcentow beczkowych, czyli jeden level wyzej.
