Local Beer

Polish vodka, great, Polish beer, not so great. That’s not a rare opinion, and one frequently espoused   by the staf f of In Your Pocket; not least when nursing a chemical hangover thanks to Poland’s big brand breweries. But behold, there is hope, and that lies in the discovery of a rather smashing local brewery called Amber Browar. Located a short drive from Gdansk these lads have gone a long way to changing foreigners perception of Polish piwo, and their track record should be proof enough: 2006 saw them scoop top prize for both Poland’s best  pale beer (Zywe), best dark beer (Kozlak Amber), and best beer (Kozlak Amber again).
