A History of Mulled Wine
The word "mulled" simply means heated and spiced. Many liquids can be mulled - mead, cider, and of course wine. Mulled wine is a traditional favorite in cooler locations, and goes well with the various celebrations that come around the end of the year.
Mulled wines have a long history. In medieval times these wines were called Ypocras or Hipocris, named after the physician Hippocrates.

A History of Glogg
Glogg is a traditional drink of the Swedish & Finnish Advent season - Advent being the six weeks leading up to the Birth of Christ on the 25th of December. Glogg is traditionally made with red wine, and each small glass has a few almonds and raisins in it as well as the drink. December in this region is a dark, wintry time, and this hot drink helps keep the spirits cheered.
Glogg's origins are with mulled wine - wine heated with spices. Mulled wine was known to medieval Europeans and celebrated from at least 400AD. In the 1800s, a special mulled wine was popular in Europe known as "Glühwein", which began to incorporate the special Glogg ingredients - raisins and almonds. Glogg also tends to have more sugar as well as a heavier alcohol content. Given the frigid winters seen in Scandanavia, this can be quite necessary! Gingersnaps, Gingerbread, and cinnamon rolls are pairings associated with glogg, as are good friends and family!

Its contents may be a blend of egg yolks, sugar or honey, vanilla and sometimes cream or evaporated milk.
This Advocaat was made in Poland by Dalkowski and it is 16%.
The original advocaat was a liquor made by the Dutch population of Surinamend Reclife with avocados. Upon returning to the Netherlands, where avocados were not available, a similar texture was achieved with thickened egg yolk.
The Polish equivalent called ajerkoniak The German equivalent is called Eierlikör.
Thick advocaat is sold on the Dutch, Belgian and Tyrolean markets and often eaten with a spoon, while a more liquid version is sold as an export. Thick advocaat contains egg yolk, and is used as a waffle topping and as an ingredient for several kinds of desserts such as ice cream and pastries. It is also served as an apéritif or digestif. The traditional way to serve it is in a wide glass with whipped cream and cocoa powder sprinkled on top.

CORE Bio Pumpkin Seed Beer, a dark beer with ingredients from controlled biological cultivation! CORE Bio Pumpkin Seed Beer is brewed according to our own recipe in the only ‘biological’ brewery in Austria and Poland in Browar Witnica under licence from Core Austria. The master-builder Ing. Alexander Kordyka had the idea to brew a beer with pumpkin seeds - in contrary to the 'pumpkin beers' mainly in the USA which are brewed using the meat of the pumpkin. Searching for a appropriate recipe the master-builder made a strike in Bavaria, Germany: in the tavern brewery of Master Bernhard Sitter at Gut-Riedelsbach he found an old recipe which was enhanced and improved. Pumpkin seeds have been shown to have a protective effect on health. They supply us with vitamin E, beta-carotene, zinc, manganese, and copper. The most important substances however, are water-soluble agents. Scientists have discovered thatwhen the seeds or a water-based extract of the seeds is consumed, these agents are converted in the intestine to active products (enterodiol, enterolacton), which have a positive effect on the bladder and prostate gland. Only seeds from the Styrian oil pumpkin are used to brew CORE Beer.

The official date of establishment brewery is the year 1892, when Will was in Zdunska Zenon Anstadta Steam Brewery. The owner came from a famous for its rich tradition of brewing family. Also making his beer quickly had the taste and popularity. In 1916 the family bought the brewery Magierkiewiczów, which transformed the brewery in an industrial plant more than the taste of beer aspect. After the war he acquired the rights to the Brewery Blusiewiczów family, but in 1951 was the nationalization of the plant and incorporated in a number of breweries in Lodz. After transformation and long-term struggle Blusiewiczowie court and were able to recover the plant in 1997 to resume production. They made a number of the improvements, which increased production to 100 thousand. hectoliters. Also signed an agreement with the importation of water Leżajsk Oligocene. The growing importance of small and medium-sized breweries, and beer by massive corporations, significantly impeded the functioning of the brewery swearing, he struggled with financial problems, which in 2007 managed to stave off by limiting production, finally in 2008 the brewery sold to new investors. Thanks to these innovations introduced by the new production line is running, we have no glass bottles to cans and PET. Introduced two new brands Acana and Barrel, which now operates only the latter.

Zagloba Premium This is Zagloba Premium Beer, canned by Staropolski Brewery. Possibly belongs under a new entry. Ingredients: Water, malt, hops, yeast.Large creamy head on this one that receded moderately quick, but left some big, chunky lacing. Not fizzy. A goldenrod color, dark for a Euro lager. A few streams of bubbles rise up, but doesn't look especially carbonated. Even leaves a healthy sized ring by the last sip. Not bad at all. Zagloba Mocne Definitely a good Bohemian Pilsener. Golden with a creamy white head and steady beading, it exhudes an aroma of bready malts and light grassy & floral hops. Creamy mouthfeel. The flavor is a smooth balance between the malts and the hops, finishing on a lightly sweet note. Staropolskie This says, "Excellent Polish Beer," right on the front of it. I like bold claims and I have high hopes for this Baltic porter. Very carefully poured, it still has a huge foamy head of small, tight bubbles. The nose is really something--strong and malty w/ a sharp vinous tartness. Raisins carry the flavor w/ a subdued clove spiciness with some oxidized notes that walk a fine line between sherry and cardboard. Mouthfeel is a downside. This is a bit thin and perhaps a shade under-carbonated. I would not say this is terribly distracting or detrimental but it certainly doesn’t add anything. Excellent might be a stretch but this is definitely good.
Stawski Premium Lager A golden hued, well balanced, full flavored European lager it exemplifies the “Polish pills style” that has come to be appreciated by even the most discriminating palates. Crisp, clean and satisfying. The lager is brewed with Lublin hops a regional hybrid of Noble saar and spring water in the Carpathian Mountains.
Stawski Export Ale Refreshing beer a quintessence of traditional methods of production and latest brewing solutions. It has a charismatic, strong flavor, golden color and subtle fragrance of aroma hops.
