"Tyskie
is one of the best selling brands of beer in Poland, with around 18% of the Polish market. Tyskie also has a world distribution. Beer has been produced in Tychy continuously for almost 400 years. At the beginning of the seventeenth century, the brewery produced three kinds of beer: mailings, yeast and tableware. The only the high quality beer was intended for sale, and the other two were a beer allowance drank mainly by brewers and their families. In the early nineteenth century the brewery produced only two beverages: beer and Bavarian malt, both top-fermenting. Bavarian malt with a classical composition, saturated color was brown, sweet, calorie and low-hopped. The standard favorite was the dark niskoekstraktowe, weak and only for immediate consumption. After the expansion of the brewery in the nineteenth century and the introduction of bottom-fermenting, they started to produce beer in March, called Tyskie lager, a relatively short Bavarian beer. The first beers were light and were sold under the Ksiazece brand. In the interwar period, popular brands from Tyskie were the Ksiazece Tyskie Pilsen, the Ksiazece Tyskie Export, the Ksiazece Tyskie Beer full, and Tyskie Porter."
