Żywiec APA

Light beer, pasteurised,
extract 12.5% wt., alcohol 5.4% vol.

Żywiec Apa beer. The recipe of the APA beer is the work of the masters of the Żywiec Brewing School. Żywiec APA is an intensely hoppy Pale Ale beer with a citrus note. Brewed with five hop varieties, using top fermentation in open vats. Cold hopped to enrich the composition. It tastes best at 9 – 11 degrees. The brand’s icon, the so-called dancing couple, is one of the most recognisable and at the same time the most valuable trademarks on the Polish market; it is also the best known Polish beer abroad. The dancing couple refers to the pre-war tradition of placing folklore elements on Polish trademarks and in advertisements for the Archduke Brewery in Żywiec. Żywiec has been a patron of culture for years. It sponsors a number of artistic endeavours, including one of the most popular and recognised music events in Poland — the Męskie Granie concert tour.
