Perla



 

Yesterday nothing special happened. Just another lazy Tuesday, with one online class in the evening. There’s no point of telling you about this day, really.

However, what I do wanna write about today is Polish beers! I think they are magnificent, one of the best beers I’ve ever had! And I’ve tried a new one! It’s called Perla, it’s made in Eastern Poland if my memory serves me right. I’ve probably already told you the story of how I bought that bottle of beer, but I think it’s such a great story I wanna make sure you know it, so here is how it went; we went to Auchan with Sári, and while she is searching for uninteresting stuff around the shop, I usually go to the beer section and wonder around there. It was the day before yesterday, when I got another recommendation for this beer called Perla. Although I usually believe locals, this time I had my doubts. How come that this is allegedly the best beer in Poland, and I’ve never came across its name? No restaurants, no fancy advertising boards, no bars would sell it. So, before I took it off the self, I wanted to ask someone about his opinion, but only an older gentleman was there. So, I went up to him and asked him if he spoke any English. Luckily, he said ‘yes a little bit’. So, I asked him whether this Perla beer is any good. And he replied – I’m quoting here his little English: “Yes, it’s a very good beer! It’s brewed in Eastern Poland, and it has a really excellent taste!” Wow. His little English was better than most of the youngsters’ ‘excellent’ English. I think it’s needless to say, he convinced me. I bought a bottle, and kept it in the fridge forever basically, until yesterday! I opened the bottle, pour some into my glass, looked at it for a bit, while my excitement grew, and then I took a sip of it. Oh, boy. It is good! Very good! I really didn’t get it… how is it possible that I’ve never heard about it!? How?! Anyways, if you are looking for an underrepresented, amazing Polish beer, Perla is the way to go! Oh, and it’s not own by Heineken or any other megacompanies as far as I know! So, from now on I’m definitely not drinking any other brand just Perla.


Yes, I usually upload a picture of the bottle, and the beer in a glass, but seems like I was so excited I forgot to take any pictures, so I can only show you, the picture I took in a shop to make sure I wouldn’t forget the name of this mysterious beer.

So, I believe that is it for today, try to be save, and see y’all tomorrow!

Take care,

Almos

Oh, and Perla is written with an "Ł" so it is PERŁA, incase you wanna Google it.

Last Day in Warsaw

Image
  Our last day in Warsaw… When we got up the whole apartment was basically completely empty. Nothing was left, but a few backpacks, the food in the fridge, and the clothes we were about to put on. It was really sad. To start the morning exciting, and cheer ourselves up a bit we started our day in Costa Café or the Nero café — I honestly have no idea — where instead of coffee we drank chai latte. Sari did made me chai latte before, but since we don’t have either a printer nor the balls to print money we used cheep coffee and cheep chai thingy, which meant I was almost drinking something completely different. I absolutely loved the chai latte they gave me, so did Sari. Bummer, I wish I knew about this earlier. After our coffee break we packed everything and headed for the last shopping, we bought the little things that were absolutely needed for our successful trip home: bread, doughnuts, and the missing kinda beers. It was a successful trip. Then we drove home, prepared our meals fo...

Eastern Poland

Image
  Yesterday we broke the record of the number policeman we have met ever in a day. They were everywhere. However before getting in to that we started our day in Bialystok. Where it was -10°C in the morning! I got us some breakfast then till Sari packed our staff I went to get our car. While I was walking to it I checked all the cars on the street how icy were they trying to assume how thick ice cover did my car grow overnight. Luckily the car was only covered with some snowish loose staff that was easy to get rid off with a broom. However in the inside everything was frozen. The motor didn’t even start for the first time, then when it finally started it sounded like when you didn’t put the dishes properly in the washing machine and everything falls out, that was the exact same noise my motor was sounding. It was definitely not pleasant.  The temperature had risen to -8°C by the time we got to our first stop. It was the Church of Trezescinka: a beautiful huge wooden church with...

Sunday Market

  Yesterday we went to the Sunday Market. Or actually we went to a Sunday market – I suppose there are several Sunday markets all over Warsaw. The one we went to is called Gielda Staroci na Kole. Although it wasn’t as big as the Sunday market in Pécs, I still wouldn’t call it small. As we saw they mostly sell porcelains, old coins, tools, and similar useful goods. Visiting this market was quite an experience! The market itself takes place at a closed garden, but the garden seems to be not big enough for all the sellers, some of them sell their staff on the street right next to the market! First, we didn’t even know what’s up with that place. We didn’t see the conception. It took some time and some walking for us to comprehend what’s going on. I might’ve told you earlier, my plan was to buy a bike, so I could ride it to the uni, so one of the reasons we went to the market to see if they have bikes, if they have how much they cost, and what they look like. Well unfortunately they ...
