Browar Złoty Pies on Wrocław's Rynek brews on premises, with copper kettles visible from the bar in a historic tenement at the corner of Wita Stwosza. A short, beer-focused menu pairs the house pours.
Must order: The unfiltered pilsner with a plate of żurek and pork knuckle.
Tip: The tap-room downstairs gets quieter than the street-level beer garden on weekend nights.
Address: Rynek 41, 50-116 Wrocław
Bierhalle right next to Wrocław's Town Hall brews Bavarian-style lagers and wheat beers on site. The room serves Polish-German pub plates beside the brew tanks.
Order: Their dunkel lager with a sausage plate and a horseradish-mustard side.
Tip: Sit on the Rynek terrace if dry; the inside vault-room is loud after 21:00 with stag-do crowds.
PINTA on Podwale is the Wrocław taproom of one of Poland's most influential craft brewers, the brewery that pioneered Polish IPAs. Range covers core lagers to wild ales.
Order: Their A IPA, the beer that taught Polish drinkers what hops do.
Tip: The bartender will pour 100ml samples for free if you can't decide.
Browar Stu Mostów's central Wrocław flagship on Świdnicka pours the brewery's full range alongside guest taps from Polish and European craft. Closer to the Rynek than the brewery itself.
Order: The seasonal sour and a SALAMANDER lager, side by side.
Tip: Their tap on the Rynek brewery side is the cheaper pour; this is the better food kitchen.
Browar Stu Mostów (Hundred Bridges Brewery) is Wrocław's flagship craft brewer, just over the Warszawski Bridge in Karłowice. Their WRCLW and SALAMANDER cores run year-round.
Order: A flight comparing the WRCLW IPA, SALAMANDER lager and a seasonal pastry sour.
Tip: Beer Geek Madness, the brewery's craft festival, runs every April at Czasoprzestrzeń.
