Country of Origin: Poland (but only for Export)
Brewed by: Żywiec Brewery
Really surprised by this one, picked it up not expecting anything but found I really liked it.
Strange story behind the beer and after extensive research have still not got to the bottom of it.
Originally 5.7% now reduced to 5.2% ABV. My favourite Polish beer to date scores 8.0 MBW
Will be drinking again.
Producers Story
"Fifteen years ago, EB was the first triple filtered premium Pils brewed in Poland after the Russians left the country. EB became the most popular beer in Poland until the Russians got replaced by something just as uncool.
Now, EB is the first triple filtered Premium Pils brewed in Poland, you are not allowed to buy in Poland. A perfect reason to sell EB exclusively in the UK."
Basically it's brewed in Poland but purely for Export. I think after the EB Brewery was bought by the Żywiec Brewery (Poland's largest) in 1998 they discontinued selling it in Poland as it rivalled their own beers but carried on exporting it as it was popular in Germany and the US and now Gloucester!
