BREWED BY ZYWIEC BREWERIES (HEINEKEN)

This weekend I went to a Polish pizza place called Flo’s & Santo’s. I went with the Polish beer called Zywiec from the keg. I’m not the type of person to go oversees and go to a McDonald’s restaurant or order a Budweiser from the pubs. I like to get the local flavor. Even though the place is in the south loop of Chicago, they had the Polish menu.They had a large menu of beers to choose from as well, but this weekend I went with the lefty from the bull pen and called on  Zywiec.

I had the choice of the pint size or for a dollar more, the monster size 22 oz. I went with the monster size as I worked up quite a thirst. I did like Zywiec, it went down very easy. I had to order a second one. The pour was fantastic as the golden color glistened from the dim lighting in the restaurant/bar. The smell was sweet like a fruity blend aroma. The taste had a lot going on. It had a sweet, fruity hoppy taste. It had some bitterness but not overwhelming. I would definitely order this beer again as it went down smooth.

When there, I had the flying pork wings in BBQ sauce that were very tasty. I then indulged in one of their specialty pizzas which I will have more on in the next pizza entry. Overall I was satisfied with a great drink and food combo.
