I used to drink Okocim black cans when I was there. But its been a while and I think craft beer has gotten better there. Nice strong tasting pilsner all the same.

Pinta brewery do some good stuff; APA, wit beer and Lublin to Dublin all standouts. Ale Browar are another good craft brewery too.

In terms of macro beer, Zywiec do a decent APA too that seems to be quite widespread over there as well.

Richie,

Try Multi Qlti Tap Bar on ul. Szewska 21 when you'll be anywhere around the old town or
Omerta Pub on ul. Kuba 3 if you'll be checking Kazimierz :)

Also, fully agree with Thomas about Pinta & Ale Browar. Would also recommend Artezan, Doctor Brew, Kingpin, Birbant.

Go to the Pinta pub for a pint, then go across the street to Lost Souls Alley for the fright of your life then back to the pub for pints to settle your nerves. It's absolutely terrifying and highly recommended

There's a Belgian beer pub nearby too and a good craft beer pub across the street from it too (names escape me now)

It's a room escape type thing which is like being in a real life horror film. It's not for the faint hearted. I loved it and have never been scared so much in my life
