a’la grodziskie

Grätzer, called Grodziskie in Polish, is a traditional beer style from the Polish city of the same name. This wheat beer, unlike its counterparts, is brewed exclusively with wheat malt. Another distinctive feature is the use of oak-smoked grain, which imparts a robust smoky flavor. Traditionally, Grätzer is a brilliant gold color and has a lively effervescence thanks to its high carbonation, leading to its nickname, "Polish Champagne." The beer typically has a low alcohol content and tastes fresh, crisp, and refreshing. Grodziskie originated in the 14th century, but gradually faded into obscurity over the centuries. It was the craft beer movement that revived this classic, ensuring its renewed relevance after years of neglect.

Browar Pinta is a brewery that proudly continues this old Polish tradition. Their contemporary interpretation, called À la Grodziskie, is brewed with 100% oak-smoked wheat malt and boasts a feather-light 2.6% alcohol content.

This historic creation presents itself in a delicate, cloudy honey gold and is crowned with a fleeting, fluffy, snow-white foam. Elegant smoke, robust wheat, and sun-dried straw are woven like a common thread through the aroma and flavor of this light-footed thirst quencher.
