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 at Jaberwocky. Nose is faint sweetness; malts and booze. Tastewise it’s vanilla, bourbon, coffee, definite booze. Much better and more complex than the aroma. Medium bodied with soft carbo.

Tap at Hopa. Burgundy pour with pinkish head. Nose is sweet fruity notes, lactose, a hint of blueberry, light tartness. Taste is sweet, sweet fruity notes, blueberry but without the usual tartness of the it, lactose too and a touch of tartness. Closes with a long lasting heavily sweet, a tad sour finish, has light body and average carbonation. No pastry characteristics and barely even sour. Meh.

Can at home. Black pour with a handsome beige head. This beer might not be about complexity, but it doesnt need to be either. It’s full-on chocolate, with hints of coffee, nuts, dark sugars and dried fruit. And lots and lots of peat. It really is peaty but it also works well as a whole so it’s aight. The body is thick and somewhat creamy, with a soft carbonation. Tasty.

A bit of a throwback to the good days of WCIPAs. Slightly cloudy golden orange. Hefty bright citrus notes, pine, lightly sweet malt, a hint of cereal. Finish is mildly dry with nice bitterness. Really enjoyable and I hope more beers like this come back in the future.

A bit of cloud in this copper brew. Smallish white head. Fruity, wet dank, cardboard. Medium bodied. Finish has a nice semi-dry bitterness to it. Not really a powerhouse and it kinda misses the mark a touch, but it’s a fine beer overall.

Aromat chmielowy mało intensywny, trochę żelazisty, możliwe że było zbyt zimne, również czuć słód. Piana drobna długo się utrzymuje, ciemno-złociste mętne. W smaku jest słodkie z wyraźną goryczką, smak cytrusowy trochę. Nagazowanie niskie, ma dużo ciała nie jest puste. Pijalność średnia
