Poland's oldest major brewery, founded in 1856 in the Żywiec basin of the Carpathian foothills. The Habsburgs built the original brewery and it passed through several owners before Heineken acquired a controlling stake. Żywiec is Poland's premium export lager and the most recognised Polish beer abroad. The group also operates Leżajsk and Warka breweries and holds the licence for Strongbow cider in Poland.
