Warsaw, Poland (2)

I have to put a full-stop of my summer journey to Poland here somehow, so I travelled back to Warsaw by a five-hour train.

It was already late in the evening when we were back to hotel and the royal route.  The only think we could practically did was to have a dinner, of course with beer.  We decided to go to a microbrewery nearby: Browarmia Krolewska (meaning Royal Brewery).

I don't have to do much description here, because of what I retrieved from it website (English version!)

Browarmia Królewska was established in August 2005 as Warsaw’s first restaurant–brewery. At present, we brew 12 types of beer, which are brewed according to traditional european recipes.
The restaurant is situated on the ground floor. The basement is assigned to the brewhouse. The atmosphere is relaxed yet sophisticated. Our kitchen serves traditional Polish and International dishes, which satisfies even our most demanding guests.

Yes, I could have a glimpse of copper and other brewery settings when I walked to the washroom in the basement.  The place was not small, and there were some plaques demonstrating various prizes received by the establishment.

I tried the Pils and it was reasonably good.  The place was crowed, with locals and tourists.  They were mostly sitting outside, while we stayed indoor.  The TV showed a live football match, and I recognised the Legia Warszawa was playing (and eventually won 3-0).  Everything was nice and seemed to be in some kind of order, just a bit too touristic maybe.

After visiting some microbreweries and you came across some good and some bad stuff.  I am sure I will treasure the bottled beer more when I would be back to Hong Kong, because of its professional quality (which you know was not attained easily).

Cheers, mate!!
