In the wild, the cuckoo is a parasite: instead of building its own nest, it smuggles its eggs into the clutches of other birds and leaves them to breed and raise its offspring. However, this phenomenon is not only found in resourceful birds: a whole range of other animal species act in a similar way and with the emergence of the craft beer movement, the procedure has also spread to humans. However, the process there takes place peacefully and with mutual consent.
Like many young breweries in the craft beer scene, the Rockmill team is one of the so-called cuckoo brewers. They do not have their own brewing system, but rely on the brewhouses of established breweries. However, instead of sneaking in secretly, they ask politely beforehand and then rent accommodation in a completely official way. This not only creates friendships between colleagues, but also collaborations that bring together the know-how and brewing experience of two or more breweries in one beer. The Browar Rockmill gained its first experiences in 2017. A group of beer-loving friends found themselves in idyllic Gdansk and decided to brew their own beer from now on. The aim of the venture is to create beers that capture both the rich tradition and beer culture of Poland, as well as the current inventiveness and the exciting variety of flavors of the present. New Wave with centuries-old roots, so to speak. This motto has brought the brewery success and attention on a national and international level right from the start. The brewers are using and leveraging their momentum to make a name for themselves at competitions, trade fairs and events - a mission they have definitely succeeded in and been rewarded with prestigious awards.
Because life as a traveling brewer is difficult, Rockmill is aiming to have its own brewery in the future. Every beer sold makes a small contribution to fulfilling this dream. The brewers now have an impressive portfolio of more than a hundred different beers, including numerous collaborations with well-known names in the craft beer scene. The creations can currently be tasted in 18 countries around the world, but you can also visit the brewery's taproom in Gdansk and enjoy the freshly tapped specialties there. The latest beer is always flowing from the 16 taps and the bartenders behind the counter are happy to advise you. Because Gdansk isn't exactly around the corner for most of us, here you'll find a small, fine selection of the latest beers from Rockmill - your own taproom with freshly brewed beer straight from Poland!
