  • 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.

  • Examining the Image and Preferences of Local Beer Brands – a Case Study of Polish Consumers
    Durham University Undergraduate Dissertation Examining the Image and Preferences of Local Beer Brands – A Case Study of Polish Consumers Monika Żebrowska Word Count: 11,539 March 17th 2017 Z0954070 – Examining Image and Preferences of Local Beer Brands – A case study of Polish consumers 2 Z0954070 – Examining Image and Preferences of Local Beer Brands – A case study of Polish consumers Abstract The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the decision-making processes behind the choices of beer brands in Poland and examine the brand image of perceived local beer brands among polish consumers. The study engages in the interpretative and qualitative research approaches to examine those issues among polish beer lovers. The data was collected through interviews, observations and secondary research in form of various industry analyses. The research took place in PiwPaw, one of the multi-tap pubs/restaurants in the centre of Warsaw, Poland. The results show that the following factors influence consumer-purchasing decisions: taste of the beer, price, recommendations, the context, packaging and patriotism. It also showed that the choice of beer is for many beer lovers more important decision than one may think. Considering Aaker’s (1997) brand personality dimensions, the local beer brands are considered exciting, sincere and competent. The results also showed that positive image of local brands is strongly impacted by negative attitudes towards global brands. The study contributed to the literature by providing reader with in-depth understanding of consumer perspective on beer industry in the context of beer revolution in Poland. 3 Z0954070 – Examining Image and Preferences of Local Beer Brands – A case study of Polish consumers Acknowledgements I would like to extend my gratitude to the owners and the staff of PiwPaw Beer Heaven in Warsaw for their helpfulness and for allowing me to conduct my research in their restaurants during one of the busiest times in a week.
