Description
Established in 1892 by one of the members of most famous and respectful brewery families of that period, Zenona Anstadta, from the beginning Brewery was valued by the deep taste of polish beer.

In Year 1916 property was acquired by family of Magierkiewicz and stayed under their management till breakout of World War II. Brewery was functioning in times of German occupation providing working space for the local population.

Next owner was family of Blusiewicz, which was running the brewery in years 1947-1951. In the end of 1951 Brewery was nationalized and incorporated into Brewery Department of Lodz. In the brake of 1996 and 1997 family of Blusiewicz reclaimed their rights to Brewery and begun beer production as a family company under the name of Browar Staropolski.Modernization of the Brewery allowed to increase the production power up to 100 thousands hectoliters of beer per year.

The end of XX century was a very successful year for the Brewery and management decided to export their products to USA and UK, where it become very popular among Britons and American Poles. Brewery was sold in 2007 due to the weak strategy in fighting for the consumer on the brewery market, at that time mainly dominated by large corporations. Following years were very difficult for Staropolski Brewery, which resulted in Brewery bankruptcy.

In 2014 Brewery was bought by Dystrybucja Pomorze, private limited company.

[50cl swing-neck bottle from Mleczko, Reading.] A hazy straw coloured pour with a tight white head; honey aroma; full in the mouth with honey, toast and caramel, followed by apples and pears; then a gentle bitterness and some toffee apples to finish. Unusual and tasty.

Bottle from the Polish Delicatessen, opposite the Barum Top Inn, Halifax. Darker slightly hazy amber. Its gluten free character makes this a somewhat robust tasting lager with a deeper hop-malt balance, and it's also fairly sweet.

500ml bottle [courtesy of Lukas - thanks a lot!]. Opaque, quasi black colour with average, frothy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, tan head. Roasty and chocolately, minimally spicy, dark malty aroma, notes of dark chocolate, some treacle, coffee surrogate overtones with a touch of celery. Taste is slightly sugary, sweet-ish, roasty and chocolately, minimally spicy and ashy, dark malty, hints of treacle, dark chocolate, dark caramel, a touch of blood, iron, rust, minimally metallic overtones. Slightly creamy, watery texture, smooth and soft palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Doesn't feel like only the best ingredients have been used here, but the outcome is not bad - yes, not bad.
