Join us for an exciting online workshop on PolishHops, available on the official European Beer Consumers’ Union YouTube channel!
This captivating and informative EBCU workshop will provide you with an up-close look at our diverse hop varieties and their distinct characteristics. Dive into the world of hops, with a special focus on our most important varieties such as Lubelski (Classic), Tomyski (Resurrected) and PŁ-01 (New Wave). Discover practical tips and techniques for utilizing these hops to craft beers with unparalleled flavor and aroma!
Who knows, you might just discover your new favorite hop!
BrauBeviale 2018 gave us a lot of experience and constructive conclusions. So in 2023 we had more energy, more enthusiasm and… more hops with us!
Our stand was eye-catching. We had a huge space next to the main BrauBeviale Forum, so we were clearly visible and recognizable. Bringing our hops – cones and granulates – and a lot of beers from Polish craft breweries. Not to forger being accompanied by our close friends from Recraft, Lubrow and Alchemik Brewery which gave great support.
Of course making sure that everyone had a good reason to visit us. And it worked perfectly! We cannot forget the meaning of networking – at BrauBeviale meeting fantastic people from the worldwide brewing industry is one of the greatest perks. Talking to brewers, hop growers, malt house owners and qualified beer judges who organize prestigious beer competitions. And we were proud that everyone was delighted with our products! Cherry on top was when Polish beers brewed with our hops were awarded at one of the most prestigious beer competitions – the European Beer Star. Watching the award ceremony from the „first row” of our nearby stand was quite the silver lining.
In the New Style Lager category the bronze medal was awarded to Brovarnia Gdańsk. The winning recipe – “Złoto Brovarni” – combines four hops: Iunga, Lubelski, Sybilla and Marynka. Iunga was used for bitterness, Sybilla and Lubelski for aroma. Lubelski, Marynka, Sybilla were also used for dry-hopping.
In the Grodziskie category, Browar Grodzisk – the unquestionable leader in this category – took the gold medal. The winning recipe included Tomyski as a main hop (Tomyski is the most important hop used in Grodziskie-style beers!) and Magnum for bitterness.
Also in the Grodziskie category the bronze medal was taken by a cooperative project fromBrowar Nieczajna, Browar Szałpiw, Same Krafty craft beer bar, Smaki Piwa and Arecki. These awesome people used a lot of Tomyski and just a bit of Magnum hops, so the beer has an unforgettable taste and aroma. What is most exciting, it was created for the Grodzisk Beer Festival 2023 – popular and colorful event aimed at promoting Grodziskie beer in Poland.
It was a great joy to watch talented Polish craft brewers receive prestigious awards for beers made with PolishHops!
We would like to thank all our visitors, our old and new friends and our coworkers for this magnificent event! And we hope that in 2024 we will show the audience an even better side of ourselves!
It was extremely busy week for us. But it was definitely worth it. As far as we know, we were the first Polish hop farming and processing company having own stand at Braubeviale, one of the most important beer fairs im the world.
During those days we met dozens (od even houndreds) of brewers, wholesalers, and beer geeks from Europe, Asia and both Americas. Frankly, some od them were already our friends. Moreover, to showcase our varieties, we used lovely beers made for us by: ReCraft Brewery (PL), Grodzisk Brewery (PL), Live Oak Brewing (TX, US) and Ułan Browar (PL).
Thanks to their great job our future clients had the possibility to test our hops used on single-hop beers. Well, it seems that was the best way to show their value. Thank You all for visiting us!
Brovarnia is one of those special clients who help us a lot. They offer their heart and time to try new varietes that we develop. Thanks to their hard work we can describe how our new varietes perform at the brewhouse. So when they invited us to visit them during Oktoberfest, we just could not resist 😉
