Jerzy is a 5% Polish lager brewed with Sybilla, Marynka and Lubelski hops that we had imported over from Karcizmiska, Poland. It is clean and fresh and has a gentle softness. There’s a pale, crackery body with a regal, deep hop finish.
Jerzy is named after Molly, Madeline and Matt’s grandfather Jerry Rawicki: an incredibly kind, intelligent, hilarious, loving man, and a holocaust survivor. He experienced indescribable horror and suffering living in Poland during the early 1940s. As a young Jewish teen in the Warsaw Ghetto, he smuggled children out to safety, bartered for food and intel to help the resistance, and used his speed, smarts, gymnastics, and luck to evade capture time and again.
We are incredibly proud of this beer and more proud to be able to share Jerzy’s story with you all. Use the QR code on the label to watch a painful but beautiful short film Behind the Wall that features Jerry visiting Warsaw after so many years. He passed away last year, but his story lives on.
