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 bottle from a small, nameless beer shop in Tallinn. Pours clear golden with a white head. Malty and grainy with herbal notes, hints of grass and citrus. Moderate to medium sweet with fairly low flavour intensity, but noticeable bitterness. Not great, but fairly drinkable. A bit watery, but not too bad.

Bottle. Bee, Darnall. Hazed gold (didn’t tip the trub in and didn’t do a bottle roll). Half decent white foam. Usual suspects on the nose. Wheat and ripe banana. Some herb. Dry overall bar a touch of sweetness. Drinks fine. Light dry close. Actually way better than I was expecting.
