Was just in Krakow last week. Didn't find any good Polish beers - they were all too sweet for me. But if you're looking for a place to try some: Smocza Jama and The Beer Gallery in the Kazimierz hood: Lots of Polish beers in the bottle, but they look more like clubs than bars.

Yeah, the tripel is completely out in most places - the nine currently showing at Davisville were all gone when I got there. Who knows if there will suddenly be hundreds of unsold bottles or if this was a very limited beer. I find it annoying that it is hard to tell how large or small these releases...

Enjoyed the beer part of the night, but the experience left a lot to be desired (for the reasons already mentioned). I would've liked another brewery or two for the size of the crowd so that maybe I could talk to a brewery or two about the beers they brought. And having to leave the sample glass whe...
