Our visit has sparked off a debate about the freedom of brewing that Polish breweries enjoy. Contrary to Poland where there are no limits as to beer brewing, Bavaria faces the challenges of the 500-year-old Bee \u00a0Purity Law, which bans using other spices than hops. It was introduced to ensure the quality of German beer. The meeting has inspired us to explore the topic of our competencies and developing hop fields in Poland. This is the reason why Hallertauer IPL \u2013 brewed in cooperation with Camba Bavaria\u00a0made its debut at the Lublin Craft Beer Expo.

When it comes to the idea of craft, we are definitely on the same wavelengths as the brewery\u2019s founders, Michel Ordeman and Lydia Zoetman. We met to start our collaboration project at their beautiful brewery JopenKerk. The modern brewery is equipped with state-of-the-art technological solutions. Being located in a historic building, Jopen combines traditional and new-wave approaches to create opportunities for craft beer. The brewery is of an urban character. Their aim is to recreate brewing traditions in Haarlem. Since the very beginning, they have focused on recreating native and regional styles. The aim of the meeting was to share experiences and familiarize the Dutch with Polish traditions. Our hosts noted the presence of our beers on their market. Our beers are available in Haarlem and well appreciated in the Netherlands. We\u2019ve been on offer in Bavaria, Berlin, and the USA. Our collaborative brewing with American breweries has done a lot to spread the word. Our aim was to brew a beer that would bring to mind Poland and that we could distribute on a wide range of markets. For now, the joint project will ensure the distribution of our beer to many European countries and in the USA. We\u2019ve agreed on the style: traditional, historic, and very classic. We\u2019ve designed the recipe. We brewed 6 beers in 3 days. The project will make foundations for the great promotion of Polish craft set for January 2017.

This year we\u2019ve expanded our export over Austria, the Netherlands and Russia and promoted beer from WRCLW at Craft Bier Fest Wien 2016, Berlin Beer Week, and Brau Beviale. The outlook for the year 2017 is very optimistic. We\u2019re hoping to double the number of countries where our beer is exported to. Our greatest Christmas wish has been for our beer to be available in the United States. We\u2019ve landed the deal. Export begins in January 2017.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the brewery, the magic of craft brewing, building bridges, and the year 2016 in review read an extended interview at:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/wroclife.pl\/blogi\/opowiesci_browarnikow_browar_stu_mostow\/\">http:\/\/wroclife.pl\/blogi\/opowiesci_browarnikow_browar_stu_mostow\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Time flies. We\u2019re cooperating with two hundred business partners. Concept has opened up gates to collaboration with many chefs. The pace at which we\u2019ve been changing the scene and expanding craft boundaries has been increasing.<\/p>\n<p>And so is our team. We draw inspiration from various ideas to walk our path to success, which to us means building bridges among people, cities and countries. We are bringing together rich history and the potential the present world has on offer. We aim at showing the wonders that craft beer does.<\/p>\n<p>Our plans for 2017 are ambitious. We\u2019re planning to free WRCLW from commercial beer. We want to educate more, integrate more, and support every initiative that would help us reach that goal. Go WRCLW!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been a successful year both for our team and the city itself.
