if you want to get drunk quickly go for Warka Strong. it's 8 or 9% but tastes like normall beer

for a normal drink (well, about 6%) any Polish beer is good but try Tyskie or Zubr if you can, they're tops

or if you're daring go for zywiec porter @ 9.5%

Krušovice from the czech republic is always a good shout too.

Belgian beers FTW

Trappist beers almost make the whole religion thing worthwhile.

Awesome place, only issue is having to walk passed all that Bourbon.

Of the Pilsner type Bitburger for the clear win.

For something different Desperados and for the light cheeky ale Peroni Red - but so many are good, am a particular fan of South America it seems.

I will venture down the polish isle on my next visit.

If that is the one brewed in whiskey/bourbon  barrels it is good stuff.

Sapporo FTW.

Always move on to that when the Delirium Tremens has run out.

As a keen supporter of Real Ale, I prefer the locally brewed, fresh from the jug taste, with no fizz.

If however you do not live near such a haven of taste, please try Hobgoblin from Wychwood Brewery.

Its available from most good supermarkets
