The small town of Zwoleń is located in the south of the Polish capital Warsaw and currently has just under 8,000 inhabitants. What is special about this place is its early settlement: people lived here more than 70,000 years ago. Finds in the 1980s prove the early existence of settlements at this location. Between the Stone Age and the present, Zwoleń experienced several waves of growth and emigration. The town also belonged to very different rulers and survived fires, wars, cholera outbreaks, uprisings, revolutions and bombings. Today, life in the small town is much more tranquil. One of the things that contributes to the quality of life in Zwoleń is the beer from the town's own brewery.
The Maryensztadt brewery is one of the most successful brewing companies in Poland and has been involved in the beer market since 2015. The team produces creative craft beers that are produced with craftsmanship and heart. The brewers' speciality is beers that are designed based on popular classics and brewed with a modern twist. In order to compete with the skills of international brewers and make a name for themselves outside of Poland, the brewers take part in competitions all over the world with their beers. More than 20 medals have now compensated the brewers for this effort and have brought them fame and honor around the world. Part of their success is the sophisticated concept: in addition to the outstanding quality of the raw materials, recipes that have been thought through down to the smallest detail and ravishing taste, the overall package also includes design and suggestions for the optimal combination with suitable dishes.
One of the brewers' heartfelt projects is sustainable, environmentally friendly brewing. After the brewery benefited from financial support from the Norway Grants, planning for a new brewery began some time ago. The goal is a 100% environmentally friendly brewing process, which is to be achieved through a variety of concepts and actions. For example, the plan is to use residual heat when boiling the wort, use fully recyclable packaging materials, photovoltaic systems and use nitrogen instead of carbon dioxide. The location for the new brewery has already been decided: in the neighboring town of Sycyna there is a complex of four farmhouses that is to be completely renovated and expanded using the latest technology. This new brewery will serve as an extension to the original brewery in Zwoleń and will enable the brewers to increase their product range and output. With this project, the team is part of the EkoBrowar movement, which aims to promote a large-scale reduction in CO2 emissions, improved energy efficiency and sustainable brewing processes in Poland. In August 2022, the brewery signed the contract to build its new brewery.
