Browar Warka
“Warka’s prosperity has always relied heavily on its beer,” reads a 17th-century passage, written by geographer and Mazovia historian Jędrzej Święcicki.
The researcher makes a valid point. The production and sales of beer, aimed mainly at the Warsaw market, has been characteristic of Warka trade for centuries. The privilege issued by Prince Bolesław V on June 18, 1478 forms irrefutable proof thereof. The Prince granted Warsaw city councilors the exclusive right to sell Warka beer in his court and in the Warsaw City Hall.
The inventory of royal lands showed a great number of brewers. This goes to show just how popular this product was in Warka. Warka beer reached its greatest popularity in the 16th century, both in Poland and abroad. A famous anecdote connected with Papal Nuncio Gaetano made Warka beer much sought after in the whole of Europe.
