The last time that I was in Wrocław I visited the Browar Stu Mostów bistro in the city centre. This time I headed out on the tram to visit their taproom and brewery, located to the north of the city.
The taproom offers views over their brewery and it all feels modern and organised.
I was the only customer throughout the entirety of my visit and I thought it might be slightly busier on an evening, but at least that meant it was peaceful. Well, peaceful in the tap room, they were busy in the brewery itself which was quite loud, but that adds to the authenticity.
The beer list is on Untappd and it’s also displayed here behind the bar, although I found it easier to just look at the online list. It’s a very competent brewery and I’ve had their beers many times in Poland and the UK, although I confess that I only relatively recently realised that they were based in Wrocław.
I ordered a flight of beers from the brewery and these were from left to right:
- WRCLW Schops which was an intriguing beer as it had caramel and banana notes, but was a wheat beer with hints of being a brown beer. It’s not a beer style that I’ve tried before, but that’s not entirely surprising as this is an historical recipe which the brewery are using, bringing back something from the past and I found it very agreeable.
- Lush Lime which was a nicely balanced pastry sour with a lot of gentle lime flavour, even pushing towards being decadent.
- Coco Drift which was my favourite of the four, it was thick like a smoothie with tropical fruit flavours, it was quite a robust pastry sour with just a little tartness.
- The Pumpkin Spice Sour tasted of cinnamon and apricots to ne, it was smooth, rich and pleasant.
The four beers were excellent, all of them of a high standard and I was impressed at the broad range of beer styles that the brewery was producing.
I very much like tartare sauce, so this was an agreeable amount to serve with the fish and chips I ordered. The meal was fine, I’m not sure what kind of fish it was and it was a little bland, but the batter had a depth of flavour, the chips were fluffy inside and the coleslaw added texture. It went well with the beers and the pricing for the whole arrangement was reasonable.
It’s worth the trip out to visit this brewery, it’s a clean and comfortable little taproom and the staff were friendly and engaging. I thought that it would be busier, but I’m sure that it gets quite packed on weekend evenings as it isn’t that large. They also have Concept Stu Mostów next door which is open from 08:00 until 21:00 every day of the week and is more of a restaurant. I think they offer the same beers there, so this is another option for those who don’t want to visit the taproom.
