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.

Pours slightly hazed gold into a willi. Bright white head crackles and recedes to coat surface. Skunked honey aromas. Soft and cloyingly sweet with cane sugar front to back. Makes my teeth hurt. Maybe the worst beer I've ever had.

Sweet, slightly artificial lemon covers up any real beer notes. Refreshing at least.

Barwa ciemno brunatna, klarowne, piana beżowa, dość obfita, średnio trwała.
W aromacie ciemne słody, czerwone owoce, ciemny chleb.
W smaku półsłodkie, sporo akcentów porterowych, ciemnych owoców, ciemnego chleba. Kontra chmielowa niewielka.
Goryczka niska, wysycenie średnie, ciało w normie, nie czuć zbytnio alkoholu.
Bez szału.

Bottle. Bee, Darnall. Strongest shandy I’ve ever had 🤷🏻♂️ Deep pinky purple. Swede to match. I don’t know what this is supposed to be but I drank it like pop and could, at a push, have done another.
