When I would visit Poznan regularly in the late 90s I remember drinking EB or something called 10,5 but have no recollection if they were good or otherwise, but after the bus back to London I wanted a Caffreys to erase the memories (admittedly that could have been the potential in-laws).

In London corner shops we can get eastern European dark lager, wheat beer, Dortmunder, pils and Maerzen, but never stout or porter. Very annoying.

And yes, Lech/Tyskie are certainly becoming more ubiquitous in these parts, too.

The only Polish beer I’ve tried (so far) that I like is bottled Zywiec – and it goes very well with chilli beef at the mighty Singburi in L’stone.
