Zywiec or Tyskie. I had some cans of Lech a while ago and they made me feel pretty crap the next day so I'll stick with the less pronounceable stuff.

 

[Nixon]

zywiec or warka

 

[johnnymarrsbars]

Zywiec is made of win.

 

[Quartz]

I've yet to find a Polish cider.

 

[ddraig]

bought Tyskie and Zyweic a few times, one shop does 6 for £6 and you can have a mix, couldn't decide which for a while but reckon Tyskie, £1.39 in my local shop

my dad chirped up 'Tyskie', the new stella, when he saw me
observant git that he is

IDIOT

In a shop near my house there is zwyiec, tyskie, lech and another polish beer, and all the cans of polish beer are £1 each. so i have bought 4 tyskie and will thus have a hangover tomorrow morning. yay!

btw i prefer real ale but it's too thick for this weather. and cider jsut makes me sick, it reminds me of the smell of my shit after drinking too much cider - like a mix of rotten apples and runny babyshite

I'm sure there are some good Polish beers available back in Poland, but, without exception, every single Polish beer that's widely available in England is piss.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I can't work out which one I prefer so I thought you could decide for me. Poll to follow.... if I can work out how to do a poll...

Decide which one you prefer or which one we prefer?

 

[Diamond]

Zywiec, but it makes me do silly things.

 

[Herbsman.]

i regret buying tyskie. headache massive this morning im such a idioti

 

[CyberRose]

Our local "offy" is just a Tesco express and they only sell Tyskie. I'd absolutely love an offy that sells cans of Zywiec tho!

Zywiec and Tyskie are amongst Poland's best selling beers, and are imported from Poland.

 

[Herbsman.]

Carling is amongst England's best selling beers if not THE best selling beer in England. Does that mean it's good?

Good is subjective. No doubt you are the kind of person who hates anything "popular". In fact, judging by your posts, you appear to hate everything.

I appear to hate everything? Absolute bollocks. try and make statements that you can back up.

Let's stay on topic though. You made it sound like Tyskie and Zywiec are good because they're the best selling in Poland and are important. I disagree with that statement. That doesn't mean I hate anything popular, it just means I disagee that something is good just because it's popular.

Lech is the best mass produced lager in the world imo. It has a stronger than usual hops flavour therefore tastes more like a pilsener than a lager but doesn't have the bitterness of real pilsener. Ideally proportioned and complete taste imo.

Zywiec is good and when it is at correct temp the head is sublime.

Tyskie is watery and sour (similar to uk lagers - maybe that's why it leads the poll).

Okocim comes in two varieties - green lager and blackish strong lager. The latter is a classic '4 pints and you're pissed' beer.

I thought I was a beer snob. At the risk of derailing my own thread, what is your idea of a good lager from the averaged English offy?

I'd say:
Budvar, Staropramen - great but overpriced
Becks - nice if a little bit bland
Kronenburg - ok
Peroni, Asahi, Red Stripe - bland and inoffensive
Stella - functional if a bit chemically out of the can
Carlsberk Special Tennants Super etc. - very functional
Carling, Carlsberg, Fosters, Budwiser, Brahama - Bland to the point of being offensive. I'd reserve the description 'piss' for this set.

 

[rennie]

What about Grolsch huh?

 

[DRINK?]

Lech for me...my offie sells them all - all 6 for £5 at the mo...

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Zywiec for me - nice and strong!

Don't mind Tyskie or Okocim, never tried Lech but would like to

I forgot about this thread. I don't really like lager that much, I'd agree with your assessment above. I quite like Cobra, but that's not really very lagery.
