Geschichte
Tyskie beer has been brewed since 1629, initially producing various beer types primarily for local consumption.
In 1861, Prince Jan Henryk XI modernized the brewery by introducing a steam engine, significantly increasing production and establishing it as one of Europe's largest breweries.
The brewery adopted bottom-fermenting techniques and launched the Tyskie lager brand in the late 19th century.
Electrification in 1891 and railway connections in 1894 further enhanced its capacity.
Throughout the interwar period, the brewery produced popular brands such as Książęce Tyskie Pilsen and Tyskie Porter.
Today, the brewery is part of Kompania Piwowarska, a subsidiary of SABMiller, continuing its longstanding brewing tradition.
