It is wise to draw from history, and even better when, based on a story (especially a good one), a new, equally good story is written. And this is what WARSAW BREWERY in Warsaw Breweries is, which just has been opened on September 10th to produce their first barrels.
Let's go back to the 18th century for a moment. It was then more than ten breweries operated at Grzybowska Street. The source of this accumulation of golden happiness at one address was... springs of excellent water, which attracted artisans of brewing provenance like a magnet. The Haberbusch and Schiele brewery (or rather the Haberbusch, Schiele, and Klawy brewery) may not have been the first ones to appear. Still, it lasted between Grzybowska and Krochmalna Streets for the longest time and achieved the most remarkable success - brewing here beer that was known and exported from Warsaw to many countries. And with adventures (about which you can read more on our website), despite the changing winds of modern history, the brewery operated here until 2004 and...
...and it is not the end. After nearly two decades, Warsaw Brewery has just opened in the same place. A culinary and entertainment project, in which the fate of the modern brewing industry in the capital city is decided, but there is also good food. Additionally, the place is connected (thanks to one of its owners - Mark Zarkhin) with an Italian concept by Pizza Lecentano.
But the brewery is the most important in this whole story!
Easy now, we are not talking about another commercial factory of mass mediocrity. Warsaw Brewery is a strict craft brewery with aspirations to become a natural beer attraction of the capital city. As many as 19 kinds of excellent craft beers are brewed here, including the legendary Grodziskie and Porter known from the times of the former Warsaw Breweries. To start with 'modestly' - the annual production is estimated at... 384 thousand liters of beer. Of course, the great thing is that here, on the spot, it is possible to taste all of them without the risk of losing their qualities during long-distance transport or storage. It's hard to say whether beer can be as fresh as "milk straight from the cow," but that's precisely what it is because the local store offers unfiltered and unpasteurized beer that has just left the vats. There are also beer accessories, souvenirs, and preserves.
And where you can find perfect hop nectars, there must be good food, so the restaurant in Warsaw Brewery has set a very high standard. It serves modern and diverse cuisine based on the heritage of the legendary gastronomy of Warsaw and Lviv but is varied with delicacies from all over the world.
Troszkę nam wstyd, że tę innowację w Warszawie zawdzięczamy Krakusom, no ale... efekt jest boski. Bo oto GOOD LOOD nie leci w kulki mówiąc, że dziś są np. „malinowe”, a na miejscu śladu po nich brak. W aplikacji, o której wspominaliśmy, zawsze widzisz, ile którego smaku zostało z dokładnością co do gałki. Ciekawe czy kiedyś wprowadzą funkcję „rezerwacji ulubionego smaku”? Przy ich kreatywności wcale by to nas nie zdziwiło.
SOMETHING (NOT) LIKE SHOOTING FISH IN A BARREL
And if anyone is tired of beer bitterness after a few draft beers, there is also a coctail bar, located in historic cellars, which presents an original cocktail menu and over 100 types of whisky from all over the world. All this in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere, accompanied by live music and with a rich timetable of artistic events which... will bring even more urban energy to Warsaw Breweries.

In the menu you will find many dishes from the charcoal "Josper grill" and, of course, beer bestsellers - traditional pork knuckle and burgers that are still trendy, but also fresh seafood and even vegetarian dishes, selected according to what's in a beer mug.
P.S. We all know the words "brewing", "vats" and craft beers, but does anyone know what the whole craft brewing process looks like in practice? It is said that you learn all your life, and knowledge is the key to power, so here is a pony that should whet your appetite for a visit to Warsaw Brewery even more. See you there.
