OUR HISTORY
WAY TO REVOLUTION
05.2010
As private individuals (Grzesiek Zwierzyna and Ziemek Fałat) we brew 5 hl of A’la Grodziskie beer, which commercial and artistic success triggered the idea of regular brewing beer for sale, in order to fill a great niche in the Polish market.
02.2011
Breakfast in Cieszyn, during which in the company of Grzesiek, Marek and Ziemek appears the proposal for the name of our future brewery. Grzesiek says: PINT, later we change it to PINTA.
03.2011
As a PINTA Brewery we brewed the first barrel of Atak Chmielu, which is the first commercial beer in American IPA style.
05.2011
The premiere of Atak Chmielu, A’la Grodziskie and Czarna Dziura – Festival of Good Beer in Wroclaw.
12.2011
The first year of PINTA is 10 different beers, which we brewed a total amount of 480 gl. Our greatest bestseller is Atak Chmielu. From the first series we have been brewing until now Pierwsza Pomoc, A’la Grodziskie and Jak w Dym beers and occasionally Czarna Dziura and Odsiecz Wiedeńska beers.

The first PINTA rebranding. Our new labels served us over 9 years.
12.2012
The premiere of Koniec Swiata – beer in Sahti style, which in several places in Poland is served with a ladle from a galvanised bucket. At the same time we go to the first PINTA “tap takeover” abroad – to Finnish tampere and at the opportunity we visit the cradle of Sahti style, Lamin Sahti town.
12.2013
Imperator Baltycki appears in stores – at this time it is the strongest Polish craft beer and its premiere passes under the sign of controvertions, connected with hopping Baltic Porter with American types of hop. As a result the sale is done on reservation or under the shelf.
12.2013
During the whole year we have brewed 21 different beers, including premiere Oto Mata IPA and Imperator Baltycki. This year we had also started the first in the history of Polish craft cooperation – together with AleBrowar and Piwoteka we brewed B-Day.
