For a last couple of years, in Poland we have been watching appearance of beer brands inspired by Irish stouts and titled after Irish cities. Thus some of the smaller breweries produce beer called Cork (made by Lodz brewery), Dublin and Belfast. They are not like real stout, in fact they have nothing similar to Guinness, Beamish or Murphy’s Stout. They are dark beers but they are much more like strong lagers.
They taste quite good but they taste heavy and for sure they are not so refreshing like good Polish lager or pint of Guinness.
Anyway, it is a very good example of Irish influences in Poland and how magical is Ireland in many Polish minds. As I wrote long time ago (2nd post on that blog), Ireland have been very popular and famous in Poland due to its music, legends and beer of course.
