Visit at the beer factory! :)

Oh yeah baby! AIESEC in Białystok organized a visit at one of the biggest beer factories in Poland! Here is produced the Żubr beer, maybe the most popular beer in Poland. Actually, this beer is produced in 3 places in Poland, but this one produced in Białystok is the best, because of the higher quality of the water used for if. The little trick is to look for the bar code written on beer when you buy one. If it begins with "34..." then it's ok, it is made in Białystok. ;) They also make other Polish known beer like Dębowe, Classic, Lech, and others. For details, visit http://www.kp.pl . Unfortunately the security officers wouldn't let us to take pictures inside the factory, not even outside...

Here, żubr (bison, zimbru) is a brand used everywhere. There are lots of this beautiful animals in a natural habitat 40 km from this city. They exist in Belarus as well, it's a shared reservation between countries. So, you can imagine that almost everywhere this symbol is used. The most known brands are this beer, the vodka Żubrovka, and the BISON products, made at the company where I work, Bison-Biał but you can find many stores, many products that use this name or something related with it.

It was pretty nice, visiting all the departments in the factory, noticing how the magic potion is made. I was looking inside a lot after BISON products, especially for pipe chucks, but I didn't saw anyone. It was a hard day, the weather was dark again and all of us were yawning a lot. Together with AIESEC Members came also 3 Erasmus students from Turkey. These guys are really cool, we shared some things about Romanian and Turkish culture.

Here is me at the company banner near the factory.

I love that beer! It tastes great and it has a bison on it...
