About
The first mention of the prince's brewery at the castle in Racibórz on Ostrog dates back to 1567. And this date is taken as the date of establishment of the brewery, although in fact the brewery is certainly older because earlier in 1559 Karczma Zamkowa was founded and beer was probably delivered from the prince's brewery. In the 16th century, there were 155 beer houses in Racibórz, i.e. houses authorized for brewing. The first mention of brewing in Racibórz was found in a legal instruction from 1293 on the competences of councilors and lay judges in which it was mentioned that the council and lay judges determined the measures and prices of beer for taverners.

Raciborski Urbacz from 1567 recorded two brewers, Sicha and Mateusz, in the city. The number of strongholds during the year was quite large and amounted to around 500. The castle brewery had two vaulted beer depots in the castle's basement.

The brewery from the very beginning was a very large brewery for those times, as evidenced by the size of the Warka beer with 4130 liters. The golden times for the brewery began in the 18th century, during which time the brewery expanded significantly and supplied beer to taverns from the Liska and Czech territories.

4.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 6 Overall 4.5
Bottle, 0.50l, courtesy of Marcin. Clear golden color with medium frothy white head and sparkling appearance. Aroma is grassy, dusty and bready. Taste starts sweet malty, follows bready, honeyish and a bit grassy, while finish is mild bitter. Light to medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Too sweet for pilsener...

zapach średnio przyjemny, słody, trochę cebuli, jabłka, ostry, nieprzyjemny, jakby stare piwo też. kolor złoty, klarowny, ale w toni pływa pełno małych drobinek. piana biała, średnio obfita, szybko znika, ale zostaje cienka warstwa. w smaku pełne, ale podobnie jak w zapachu, stare słody, coś ostrego, jabłko, kasza gryczana. goryczka dość wysoka, ale nieprzyjemna, krótka, ale bardzo ściągająca. nasycenie średnie.

bottle from Browarium. Clear deep golden colour with a small but stable white head. Malty nose. Medium-bodied with a good malty base, biscuity, almost chewable. Shy aromatic and pleasant bitter hops are there, resulting in a bitter-sweet character. Smooth on the palate - it is clear that this beer has had enough time to develop. Unexcited but very well crafted. I am glad that besides all the fancy beers with exciting new hops (delicious as the are) there are still traditional breweries in Poland that produce high quality lager the time-honoured way and give their beers enough time. In my opinion, this beer is highly underrated!

Barwa zielona, intensywna. Piana dość drobna, niezbyt trwała. Aromat słodowy, średnio intensywny. W smaku słodowe, z zaznaczoną goryczką, jednak nieco za słabą. Lekkie żelazo, ale tak poza tym dość treściwe, a przy tym pijalne, nieco za niskie wysycenie. Przeciętniak.

zapach bardzo lekki, słodowy, ale z rodzaju mniej przyjemnych, trochę jak stare, rozlane piwo, do tego trochę mokrej ściery i lekka sugestia zielonego jabłka (ale nie wiem na ile wywołana kolorem piwa). kolor głębokiej zieleni, klarowny, przypomina miętowego ludwika. piana zaskakująco obfita i długotrwała, biała, z zielonkawym nalotem. w smaku pełne, słodkie, ciężkie, dość mocno żelaziste. goryczka nieprzyjemna, niska, ale agresywna, jak w bardzo tanich mocnych piwach, przypomina ogonki i pestki z jabłek. lekka sugestia mokrej ścierki. w smaku przypomina mocne tanie piwo. wygląd jest największą (i jedyną) zaletą tego piwa.

Golden colored, quite clear, with medium head with fast retention. Grass and herbs in aroma, some hops but not much. Medium bitterness, some maltiness. Medium carbonation and body. Not that bad, but not a revolution either.
