Polish gastronomy Polish gastronomy plays more and more significant part in Polish economy. In years 2000 – 2010 an average growth of nominal turnover (8,4%) was higher than nominal GDP growth (7,3%). Hotel and gastronomy industry is an extremely significant business partner for many crucial branches of economy, also when comes to brewing industry. In 2010 Polish state earned EUR 69 million from excise which came from sales of alcohol beverages in a hotel and gastronomy business. In spite of the fact that beer that is sold in Polish restaurants involves only 10 percent of the market, beer belongs to the group of basic products of Polish gastronomy. According to results of research carried out by GfK Polonia (research agency which conducts research of Polish gastronomy market) beer is the second group of products that provides turnover in Polish gastronomy. It yields about one firth of turnover of this sector. Beer is the most popular product ordered in restaurants as far as beverages are concerned. Every third customer buys beer. Beer lager is a very popular beverage in Poland and Poles are among the 5 top nations consuming the most beer in Europe. According to Central Statistical Office its consumption in Poland amounts to 100 liters. The Polish beer market growth has been extraordinarily dynamic since the 1990s. The first decade of the 21st century brought significant growth of the consumption of alcohol in Poland amounting to 30%. The half of this growth was induced by beer which is the most frequently consumed alcohol in Poland. It doesn’t result in satisfying sales in bars and pubs because Polish customer drinks beer mainly at home. Research shows that this situation is about to change. Brief information about beer available in a gastronomy sphere: Beer is available in 45 thousand of Polish restaurants – 70 percent of all restaurants. As far as seasonal restaurants are concerned beer is the product that generates turnover on the same level as other beverages. Beer is available in all pubs and nightclubs – 11600 places and in around 95% of restaurants and restaurants in hotels (about 10000) 60% of coffee houses also provide beer. In Poland sales of beer have recently raised significantly in a sector off-trade. 5 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Change Beer consumption on-trade 20% 15% 15% 13.5% 10% -10% (hospitality) Beer consumption 80% 85% 85% 86.5% 90% +10% off-trade (retail) Average consumer price in on-trade 2.86EUR 2.85 EUR 2.69 EUR 2.83 EUR 2.84 EUR -0.5% (1-litre including taxes) (EUR) Average consumer price in off-trade 1.38 EUR 1.36 EUR 1.30 EUR 1.26 EUR 1.24 EUR -9.9% (1-litre including taxes) (EUR) Source: The Brewers of Europe In 2007 this trend may be a result of substantial fall of amount of bars. Off-trade sector managed better changes (increase) of rates of excise and VAT tax. This situation resulted in bigger differences of prices between off-trade sector and hotel-gastronomy business. Moreover smoking ban in public places including restaurants and bars might have an influence on this situation. 4. Market saturation Between April 2013 and March 2014 the whole market grew by 0.3%, compared to 4,2% increase a year earlier. The market is worth almost EUR 6,7 billion fuelled by vodkas with low alcohol content, radler (beer with nonalcoholic drink) and Portugal wines. The biggest part belongs to beer. According to report of The Brewers of Europe 146 thousand of people have job due to the production and consumption of the beer. 11% belongs to the brewery business.

  • Blackcurrant Berliner Weisse Beer Was Inaugurated in Poland in Mid-July
    Blackcurrant growers have started collaborating with craft brewers in Poland SALAMANDER Blackcurrant Berliner Weisse beer was inaugurated in Poland in mid-July. The beer is a mix of a traditional, historical style - a clear, acidic, light and refreshing Berliner Weisse, fermented with lactic acid bacteria, with an addition of blackcurrants. The beer is the outcome of collaboration between the National Blackcurrant Growers Association (KSPCP) and Browar Stu Mostów brewery. For the first time in Poland, the project joins the forces of a trade organization of producers and a craft brewery. The aim is to promote the potential of collaboration between brewers and growers. “This is a meeting of two powerful industries. Together we can do interesting things, make interesting beers that will delight gourmet palates in Poland and abroad. By joining forces, we can develop a product that nobody else can make” says Jakub Ośródek of the National Blackcurrant Growers Association. “In addition to the colour, the flavour and the aroma, blackcurrant also adds extra acidity. Beers of this kind are gaining popularity, with the Berliner Weisse style going through a real revival. This is a trend we should take advantage of” claims Mateusz Gulej, Chief Brewer of the Browar Stu Mostów brewery. “Talented brewers and competent fruit growers are already the trademark feature of Polish exports. Craft beer is a good partner for currants and berries” sums up Piotr Baryła, the President of the National Blackcurrant Growers Association. “There are already over 150 craft breweries in Poland, and soon there will be 200. Let's work together. Craft brewing needs top quality fruit and competence in the selection of varieties” say Arletta and Grzegorz Ziemian, founders of the first craft brewery in Wrocław for many years.
