In Poland if you asked for a piwo, what would you get?

If you were to ask for a piwo in Poland you would get a beer as piwo is the polish word for beer (pronounced 'pi-vo').

Polish beer is excellent compared to most of the weaker lager you get in England. It tastes nice and is generally a lot stronger, ranging from about 5% to 7.5% ABV.

Unlike most super-strength beers (Special Brew, Kestrel etc.) a strong piwo does not taste like it's had meths added to it. In fact, many people have made the mistake of thinking that because it tastes good you can just drink it like you would drink normal lager... with hilarious consequences!

What a ridiculous explanation. I know it's meant to be humorous but talking about the beer we get in England is rather alienating to the rest of the world, including the rest of Britain!

In all Slavic countries the beer is called "Pivo".

Tastes differ depending on what the palate is accustomed to and on the thirst! Quite a few countries are proud of their beer culture and take it very seriously. So in the interest of world peace, let's not compare. Drink and enjoy...

Jacqueline Tattam, I think this is one that slipped through review. It was probably supposed to be in the "correct it" file. I checked the reference to see if it was someone's blog, and it was a series of large pictures that seemed as if they were ready to print for a bulletin board. The questions and answer do apply. Thank you, Christine, James's wife

Lucky guess. Kenya Tusker is the best beer since I used to analyze it. I do not drink so I can only talk about chemistry of beer it is more involved than wine.
