Cieszyn Lager Bezalkoholowy
By Cieszyn · Poland
The alcohol-free lager from Arcyksiążęcy Browar Zamkowy Cieszyn, the Polish castle brewery founded in 1846. The brewery describes a full, refreshing taste with noticeable bitterness and a distinct hop aroma, at under 0.5%. We found no shop selling it in the UK.
At under 0.5% ABV, this isn’t alcohol-free under UK guidance, which keeps the term for 0.05% or less. We list it with alcohol-free beers, as UK shops do. How UK labels work
What is Cieszyn Lager Bezalkoholowy?
The brewery sells it as Cieszyn Lager Bezalkoholowy, and its beer list calls it Cieszyn Lager FREE: the alcohol-free version of its Cieszyn Lager. We used to list it as “Cieszyn Polish Lager” at 0.5%. We found no product of that name, and the brewery gives its strength as under 0.5%, so we’ve corrected both.
The brewery describes a full and refreshing taste with noticeable bitterness and a distinct hop aroma. It’s a bottom-fermented lager, brewed with water, barley malt, hops and yeast, at the castle brewery that has brewed in Cieszyn since 1846 and still ferments in open vats.
The brewery doesn’t publish calories, vegan status or how it keeps the alcohol low, and we haven’t scored it. It comes in 330ml bottles, sold in cartons of 12 through the brewery’s own shop, which delivers only within Poland, and we found no UK seller.
