3350/370) Home(where else?):  Tatra by Żywiec Brewery of Poland:  *1/2; 5.5%; "unchanged traditional recipe"; grainy, bready nose; standard Euro lager but nicely crisp and fresh; 


This was a gift from my manager for a Microsoft Teams Office Social - I had brought my own beer with me so I saved this one for today.

I would be happy to see the end of this year if not for the fact that it could be the only difference between 2021 and 2020 will be twelve months of misery, not just nine and one half.  I fear that is more up to our elected officials than any virus.

Just the same, I have a good feeling concerning my prospects of 365 new beers in 2021.  See you then.
