A little known fact, I almost moved to Poland in 1999, to Poznan to be precise. At the time I was engaged to a Polish girl and would visit whenever I could from the UK, meaning a long bus ride from Inverness to London, and then another 24 hours to Poznan - it was a bit of a trek for sure. When I was in Poland I would drink the macro brands, Lech, Zywiec, EB and something I vaguely recall being called 10,5. Anyway, in another first for Fuggled, this week's interview is with a Polish brewery in Grodzisk Mazowiecki, just to the east of Warsaw...

By a bit of luck I had this beer at Birofilia in June. The first kegs, I think. Both the wit and the abbey were quite nice.
