Browar PINTA embraces its country’s signature beer style—Baltic porter—with high-gravity gusto
they’ve added a new dimension to these ponderous beasts: expressive dry hops
With its new brewery in the southern village of Wieprz
a name familiar to fans of Polish beer—Browar PINTA is celebrating a decade of brewing this year
or “Attack of the Hops,” and it may have been the country’s first commercially brewed American-style IPA
PINTA continues to crank out all sorts of IPAs
but it also brews a style much more traditional to Poland: Baltic porter
PINTA’s take on the style already had more hop presence and bitterness than most
it’s borrowing a page from those IPAs—getting an added aroma burst from both whirlpool and dry hopping
Here’s their approach to brewing Imperator Bałtycki
a 10.5 percent ABV core beer that they refer to as an “imperial Baltic porter.”

Piotr Hardecki and his design team at Piotr Hardecki Architekt led the revitalization and reconstruction of Podzamcze Park in Łęczna in cooperation with the landscape architecture offices KANSKA Design and ARGO Atelier
securing and making available to visitors the remains of 19th-Century farm buildings
including the adaptation of the former hop dryer to the observation tower
The new park (also known as the Castle Park) features the renovation and preservation of a medieval castle confirmed by fragmentary excavations
a ruined palace managed by electronics factory
lindens dating back to ancient garden assumptions
and an Old Town in the oldest dinosaur valley in Poland
The area of Podzamcze Park and the adjacent areas included in the scope of the spatial programme concept is 29 ha
The park is divided into three parts: northern (between the railway viaducts and Nowowiejskiego street)
middle (between Nowowiejskiego street and St John’s bridge)
and southern (between the bridges of St John and St James).
the farm buildings of the former grange functioned as a state farm and horticultural complex until the end of the 1990s
the unattended buildings turned into roofless
gradually appropriated by wildly growing greenery.
The designers aimed to preserve as much of the original building substance as possible.
Due to the impossibility of reconstructing the destroyed buildings
the remains of the manor were developed as ruins
traces of architectural decoration were exposed in the form of limestone cladding
but also in the form of remnants of multiple alterations and rebuildings.
A flower meadow has been proposed for the former farmyard
while the birch trees planted inside the walls of the burnt stable are reminiscent of the scrubby growth that used to thrive there
the pergola resting on the walls left by the second farm building recalls the layout of the former ceiling beams.
The integrity of the complex is emphasised by the clinker paving.
The former hop drying room has been adapted into a viewing tower
ending in a perimeter gallery attached to the existing walls
All contemporary elements are made of galvanized steel
As part of the remaining stages of revitalization
the blurred layout of the 18th-Century Italian garden in the central part of the premises was reconstructed and the 19th-Century romantic park was originally laid out on the slopes and around the escarpments falling towards the nearby Wieprz River
The selection of plant species was based on compositions characteristic of the 17th- and 18th-Century single-story baroque gardens
and it is crossed by walking alleys lying at different levels
The axis of the park makes a riverbed over which
In the spring or summer the flowers and lush greenery of the chestnut trees
the trees delight with the richness of their colorful foliage

was produced in the same way for hundreds of years

which for hundreds of years has been made from fresh sheep’s milk (hence its distinctly salty taste) coming from sheep grazing on pastures in the period from May to October in the Podhale region of Poland
The beginnings of industrial production of Polish cheeses date back to the mid-nineteenth century
when the first industrial cheese factory was established in the town of Wieprz near Żywiec
But large-scale production did not begin until the post-war period
but the greatest dynamic changes began after Polish’s accession to the EU
The increase in production from 2004 to 2022 amounted to 71% and amounted to 992 thousand tons
the largest number of rennet cheeses produced is ripened cheese
The value of their sold production in 2022 amounted to PLN 9.1 billion and accounted for 17.6% of the total production sold by the dairy industry
the production of these cheeses has recorded the highest growth rate from 148 thousand tonnes to 384 thousand tonnes in 2022
Second place in the production growth dynamics in the same period is occupied by fresh and cottage cheese from the level of 262 thousand tons to 519 thousand tons
The value of exports of Polish cheeses in 2022 amounted to EUR 1.1 million
The vast majority (64%) were ripening rennet cheeses
whose sales outside the country amounted to EUR 735 thousand
and the value of their sales outside Polish in 2022 was EUR 415 thousand
the highest dynamics of export value growth was recorded in the years 2004-2022 by the latter (8.5 times)
whose nutritional and taste values are still finding new admirers
definitely associated with health and nature
Ripened rennet cheeses (so-called yellow hard cheeses) are imported mainly by EU countries
and among them the largest recipients are mainly the Czech Republic
The other most common export destinations are the United Kingdom
whey and cottage cheese can often be found on tables in Germany
The National Support Centre for Agriculture forecasts that the upward trend in sales of Polish cheeses will continue throughout 2023
whey and cottage cheese were exported 3% more often than in 2022
In the ranking of the best cheeses on our planet – on the Taste Atlas website
which publishes recipes and information from around the world
three cheeses from Poland were in the top 50
The ranking is all the more valuable because it is created thanks to the votes of consumers
which did not have any French cheese ranked higher
The 25th place was taken by gołka ,a cheese reminiscent of the Polish oscypek
a smoked cheese made from cow’s milk
In 48thplace a small redykołka cheese
Polish cheeses beat the competition of such celebrities as Swiss gruyère or Italian mozzarella
(Italian Parmesan cheese won the ranking.)

Warsaw embraces an up-and-coming pub scene to the point where
bars that don’t even look like bars and cocktail bars are the name of the game in the free drinking Polish capital
absurd yet welcome list of themed bars in Warsaw
all of these representing their own personalised niche
and you can watch sporting events on their televisions
Its location next to Świętokrzyska Metro Station also makes it an extremely handy meeting place or late-night drinking den
© Northern Irishman in Poland The “Red Pig” is a quirky PRL-themed pub
PRL stands for the Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa
which is what the country was called during Communist times
The menu offers two options – the cheaper one is “for the proletariat” and the dearer option “for dignitaries and the bourgeoisie”
it is a very famous bar and restaurant that has been visited by countless celebrities
and it is one of the rare PRL pubs in Warsaw
If you check the endless array of photos on the walls
you will see which famous people visited this place
The interior is red with lots of memories of a bygone era
The beer garden out the front permits smoking and has a vintage Polish car from the 1980s
notorious for being the car associated with the KGB and abductions during Communist rule
The place has an actual butcher’s counter at the rear
accompanied by 12 beers on tap (always changing)
a peculiar seating arrangement where you can eat and drink in your choice of a dentist’s chair
which include Tatar (raw beef with egg and vegetables)
This is more than its title of “Butcher’s Shop” suggests and is yet more proof of the trendy revival in Praga
© Northern Irishman in Poland The name of this place plays down the quirkiness of Restauracja FUDU which is a bar inside an aeroplane
this is up there with the best in vibrant Warsaw
This really is an old aeroplane converted into a bar and restaurant
But don’t arrive expecting a disco or loads of rowdy locals necking vodka shots
and great for those wanting a date when it feels like they are travelling but still on the ground
But get in quick if you want to be on the actual plane
as the bar has a more normal restaurant beside it
where your feet will be firmly on the ground

© Northern Irishman in Poland Still the leader in the country’s fine range of Irish pubs, Pub Irlandzki set the standard and continues to live up to its moniker, which locally is often “the Irish Pub in Warsaw” or “the first Irish Pub in Poland”. Yet it sits shyly on the edge of Warsaw’s Old Town
With its basic Irish décor and traditional booths
it’s like stepping into a quaint part of Belfast
Indeed as well as Murphy’s and Guinness on tap
Belfast Ale is sold here (though it’s made in Poland)
Get chatting to the regulars who are a lively mix of Irish and British expatriates combined with Polish businessmen popping in for their little taste of Ireland
and the bar has live Irish music from time to time
Patrick’s Day is a complete Irish-fest here
In terms of world-class shot bars that intertwine music with film, with good old Polish hospitality, this one is Warsaw’s finest. Pulp Fiction Bar takes us back to a cracking 1994 film while serving up a range of outrageous shots
with Polish vodka at the core of the venue’s magnetism
and leave having made new friends and potentially not remembering the last shot you had
