Beer was the drink of Polish kings — one barrel even sparked a war

Beer was brewed on Polish lands long before stronger spirits became widespread, serving as an everyday drink for both commoners and the Piast and Jagiellonian dynasties. Gall Anonymous mentioned beer in the legend of Piast the Wheelwright, who offered it to mysterious travellers at his son's coming-of-age ceremony. Surviving court records confirm the drink was a major trade commodity and a staple at royal tables.
