Description
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.

Bottled 500ml. -Transparent green coloured, small white head that went away fast, almost neutral nose (mild mild malty). Very sweet malty and some caramel with bready and light grainy notes. A way too sweet and except color nothing worth of mentioning here.

Extrem milder Antrunk, nach kurzer Zeit kommt dann eine wässrige, aber dennoch deutlich erkennbare Karamellnote auf. Auch der Mittelteil ist sehr mild, er erinnert etwas an ein Light-Bier, die Aromen wirken wie entzogen. Daher ist die Karamellnote weiterhin führend, nicht weil sie so kräftig ist, sondern aus Mangel an anderen Aromen. Zum ende hin wird das Bier etwas herb, dennoch bleibt der milde und etwas schale Gesamteindruck. Sehr schwach. Test vom 18.11.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 4,3,5,2,8,2 - 3,10

Wässriger Antrunk,trocken malzig. Im Mittelteil muffig, weiter trocken und verwässert malzig. So setzt sich der Geschmack bis in den Abgang fort. Dieses Bier hat NICHTS zu bieten! Test vom 1.11.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 7,3,3,3,9,3 - 3,70
