Our sister site TORUŃ TIPS.COM has published a special page all about the best beer in Poland. It's dedicated to all the Irish football fans who'll be descending on Toruń in June for Euro 2012...and we all know how much beer the Irish love to drink!! ;-)

It's that time of the year again when most of the university students don fancy dress and roam the streets in search of beer money (well asking fellow passers-by for a kind donation!). Some of the costumes this year have been rather imaginative...we've already spotted a mobile phone, 2 guys dressed as a tank and even a guy looking like a carrot!! 
With the weather becoming warmer, now is the time to sit outside, relax and drink Polish piwo!!
Relaxing having a beer on the patio of the upmarket Bulwar Hotel. Today is Constitution Day here in Poland...which means another public holiday! Not that I am complaining!! ;-)
It's that time of year again...when the students dress up in crazy costumes and beg for money. Not to raise for charity...but simply to fund their beer drinking lifestyle!! At least they're honest...and many people are quite happy to give them some cash. This year's JUWENALIA is shaping up to be a fun event with many incredible and ingenious costumes (though perhaps too many witches and goblins!!).
The summer beer gardens are up already here in Toruń. But that doesn't neccessarily mean that the weather is ready yet! This beer tap stands in the old market square...soaked through by a recent rain shower.
Today, the wife has prepared a wonderful and scrumptious birthday meal for me. She is an amazing cook...and has experimented with this quirky yet delicious meal. Stick a whole chicken on top of a 3/4 full can of beer and let it cook. Tell you what...the beer soaks into the meat creating a wonderful combination. Not good on a hangover from last night though!!! ;-)
Having just come back from England...you realise how good the Polish beer is. a) it's cheaper, b) it's stronger (an average of 5.6%) and c) it tastes better. There are many beers...but the most popular are Lech, Tyskie and ofcourse Żywiec. This picture was taken in the main square here in Toruń, where all the beer gardens are sponsored by the different breweries.
Where else to have a sleep on a drunken Saturday night than under a tree in front of all passers by. This guy seemed to have had one two many piwos (beer) and decided to crash out there and then.
This was the scene last night in the Old Town on a warm spring evening...and due to the extreme hot weather we have been having...there was quite a bit of activity. The building you see on the left is the back of the Town Hall. The large grand-looking building in the background is Dwór Artusa (Arthur's Court) which hosts an array of classical concerts and exhibitions.
