Żubr

Tap to rate

Named after the European bison (żubr) — Poland's symbolic wild animal — this stronger Kompania Piwowarska lager is associated with the ancient Białowieża Forest. Slightly fuller-bodied than Tyskie or Lech with a richer grain sweetness and a warming finish at 6.0%. Żubr's bison branding and wild imagery make it the most distinctive label in the KP portfolio.

What is a Lager?

Euro Pale Lagers are clean, refreshing lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 10–25. Soft malt sweetness, light hop bitterness and high carbonation make them supremely drinkable.
