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.

Bottle. I don’t know why they say this is retired. Unless this is a new beer. Clear gold in color. Aroma and taste is like a high premium lager.

0.5 l can as a gift from Poland. Pours hazy orange with thick, long lasting white head. Smells awful, overwhelmingly sweet. In taste the same artificial, unpleasant sweetness dominates. It leaves a relatively long, sweet finish right after the sip, and that later turns into dry and bitter. Light bodied, lively carbonated. Disappointing.

Nagazowanie średnie, treściowość średnia, alkohol niewyczuwalny, finisz lekko czekoladowy, raczej gładki. Ogólnie ma dziwny posmak, poza tym trochę mało treściwy jak na risa, ale później się nawet dobrze pije.

Bottle at home from the Polish supermarket in St Evenage after a seriously long day of work in the garden. Good pour and just avoided the sediment. Rich texture but an oddly sweet taste in the mouth. Quite refreshing but not for me.

Bottle from the Polish supermarket in St Evanage. Murky pour and a murky flavour. Yes, it's a beer with malt and some hops, but it isn't great.
