Marmara Kirmizi (#92)

And the dolphins jump.

Mazowieckie (#89)

Finally a Polish beer reviewed properly (in case you were wondering, properly = Polish national football team jersey).

My thoughts on the beer... go to a spa, have a tasty beer.

Gralsburg (#88)

A German or Swiss lager gets a quickest review ever. Not saved by the bell it was.

My thoughts on the beer... Doesn't even look good.

Feldschlossen (#87)

Back from the trips, I change my neighborhood and review a Swiss beer in a new flat.

My thoughts on the beer... Be patient and you will feel the bitterness.

Kiper (#86)

During my stay in Bieszczady I tried another interesting Polish beer, it's supposed to have a noble taste of bitterness.

My thoughts on the beer... for a straight from a bottle tasting, I will say noble means sweet. Not too cool for a strong lager.

Leżajsk (#85)

Another GLB on tour review, this time from the mountains called Bieszczady, located in south of Poland.

My thoughts on the beer - right beer for a rainy day, especially after hiking. For more details see the video above (or here).

Wschowskie Pils (#82)

Last week I had a first microbrewed beer on GLB. Time to have another.

Karlovacko (#70)

I've been told that I have too many lagers. I cannot disagree however... The one that I'm having today comes as a surprise. You'll see. Also I'd like to mention that some beers I get as gift from my friends so I can't choose the beer style. Just happy to get as many countries as possible.
