This information is geared to
beer connoisseurs in Ontario.
Poland has a beer tradition that goes
back hundreds of years. The beer market in Poland is the fifth
largest in Europe and tenth largest in the world.
Polish beers are brewed to very strict
purity standards. With Polish beers, you can expect pure, natural
products with long brew times. Unlike most of the
world's mass-produced beers, they are brewed and lagered in about
five weeks versus five days. Most Polish beers have just 4
ingredients: hops, malt barley, yeast and spring or artesian
water. When you buy beer, we recommend you investigate how it
was made. You'll be surprised. Beers like Zywiec, Okocim and
Lezajsk all have the above attributes and they are among the best tasting lagers in the world.
Canadian consumers are lucky because
all the top Polish beers are well distributed
across the country. Check out our recommendations in the blue
