Could it be? Yes? Yes? It is!

We’re back for Beer of the Month after a nearly 18-month hiatus due to the Covid-19 crisis, the cause for our inability to be “On The Mitten Road” with no destination except our new favorite brewery somewhere in Michigan.

Truth is, we didn’t really go far to find this “local” brew.

Standing in the middle beer aisle at Siciliano’s on a Monday afternoon staring at a five level rack of aluminum cans doesn’t seem like a bad thing until you realize you’ve been there for 12 minutes just looking for something different.

Then we realized October began with Pulaski Days here in Grand Rapids and the drink of choice for our team is Tyskie.

 

From their website:

 

Gronie is our flagship pale lager of full strength, which has been gaining recognition both in Poland and all over the world for years. Thanks to the centuries-old tradition of Tyskie Browary Książęce and the experience of their brewers, Gronie provides the perfect balance between hoppy bitterness and malty fullness.

A discerning beer drinker will sense some malty notes, a delicate aroma of hops, and even apple and banana flavours. Tyskie Gronie is the only Polish beer to have won two “Brewing Oscars” – Grand Prix at the British Brewing Industry Awards.
