The Brewery
Grodzisk Wielkopolski is a special place on the map of world brewing: it is the birthplace of Grodzisk beer, a style unique on a global scale. In its heyday, Grodzisk Wielkopolski, known as the capital of Polish brewing, was a town with ten operating breweries.
The brewery on Poznańska Street, established in 1880, became the 'heir’ to the centuries-old brewing tradition of Grodzisk Wielkopolski. After more than a century of turbulent history, the last bottle of the legendary Grodzisk beer was sold from this last operating brewery in 1993.
For years, the brewery stood abandoned and fell into disrepair. It seemed that its glory days were gone forever.
However, after more than 20 years, the brewery on Poznańska Street had new owners: beer enthusiasts and experienced entrepreneurs with an initiative to reactivate the legend at its source.
We hope that the effort put into rebuilding Grodzisk Wielkopolski Brewery on Poznańska Street and restoring the flavour of this legendary beer will be appreciated by enthusiasts of the style and those who have not yet had an opportunity to taste the original Grodzisk Beer.
