Old Van (Tyskie Brewery) - Tychy, Poland - Permanent Car Displays on Waymarking.com

Depicted permanent car display shows old van, which were shipping Tyskie beer in history. It is located in front of Museum of Tyskie Brewery (Tiskye Browarium) at street ul. Katowicka 9 inb city of Tychy.

The Tyskie Browary Ksiazece, in the town of Tychy (German Tichau) some 10km south of Katowice has been brewing beer continuously for nearly 400 years. And because of its Silesian location it has witnessed a number of historic events over the years with its own history reflecting that of the region. The originally German-owned brewery now produces the famous Tyskie Gronie, Poland’s best selling beer, and Tyskie Browary Ksiazece’s (or just Tyskie) impressive ensemble of buildings also includes a superb little museum which is open to the public for tours. Taking about 2.5 hours and led by a friendly and informative, English-speaking guide, the Tyskie tour takes visitors through the entire brewing process. Starting in the immaculately preserved Old Brewery, a masterpiece of original decorative tiles and old copper vats installed during WWI that have had modern brewing equipment cleverly put inside them, the tour follows the brewing process from start to finish and also offers a fascinating insight into the history of the factory. Highlights include the so-called Bachelors’ Quarters and the saucy tales that go with them, a glimpse of the brewery’s own railway station and, across the road, a look inside the fabulous smelling bottling plant. Now producing over 8,000,000 hectolitres of booze annually (or to put it another way, if you put all that beer into half litre bottles and laid them end to end you’d have a line of beer 80,000km long), the rise of the brewery is recorded inside the superb Brewery Museum, complete with interactive displays in English and housed inside an old red brick Protestant, neo-Gothic church built in 1902. Tours must be booked in advance, and yes, there’s a tasting session at the end. The tours are conducted in Polish, English, German, Spanish (unavailable in July & August), French, Italian, Czech, Russian and in the Silesian dialect (if you ever wanted to hear what that might sound like). The museum building also houses the local City Museum, which is also well worth having a look inside if you’ve got the time, while the town of Tyskie itself is worth a bit of exploration to round off the trip.

To get there from Katowice, take a train to Tychy; the brewery is a short walk southeast from the train station.
