  • Hey this is MatSan

  • today we are going to talk about

  • so we are going to cover

  • what do you have in Poland

  • and what kind of option you can get

  • about the price and about the taste

  • yes, also we will compare it with Taiwan

  • what you can get in Taiwan

  • and compare it to Poland

  • so here we go!

  • I wasn't an alcoholic, and now I become an alcoholic

  • NO NO NO

  • Joke

  • many varieties of alcohol

  • and not only about beer

  • but also about wine

  • whiskey, everything

  • but I'm personally a big fan of beer here

  • because...

  • in Asia

  • mostly with the normal price

  • you can buy those jasne (clear)

  • normal beer

  • maximum dark beer

  • and probably that's all

  • and they are mostly from...

  • Belgium

  • in Taiwan I see they are mostly from...

  • Belgium

  • China

  • Japan

  • Germany

  • America

  • and that's mostly it

  • from Poland..

  • I only saw Żywiec

  • she impressed me that you can actually buy Żywiec there

  • but other than that

  • I mean for sure there are many specialized shops in Taiwan about beer

  • because every normal country you can see that, I guess

  • but of course it will be more expensive

  • and mostly you will also see

  • the beer in the bottle

  • like Pepsi or Coca-cola

  • those can

  • or smaller bottles

  • usually it's like 0.3l

  • but I still figured it out

  • and I still had some beer which are still 0.5l

  • and Poland

  • because we have this beer reolution in Poland right now

  • you know, previously it was like just..

  • normal lager beer

  • and right now

  • all those porters and so on

  • but right now we have many many varieties of beer

  • and you see everything

  • you see this american pale ale

  • chocolate stout

  • another porter, baltic porter, imperial porter...

  • and they are actually pretty cheap

  • if you want to have a special taste

  • you can buy with...

  • 7zl

  • more or less

  • if you buy in Taiwan

  • it will probably cost you

  • 14zl

  • up to 20zl

  • and here

  • I personally love

  • porter

  • I love stout

  • definitely not

  • Indian Pale Ale

  • American Pale Ale

  • any kind of pale ale taste

  • no!

  • any time with IPA, she is like:

  • yea but other than that

  • I like those darker and richer chocolate or coffee

  • this kind of taste

  • if you are a really picky lady

  • or you just don't like beer

  • you say that I hate beer because it's bitter

  • you can really find a beer for yourself

  • because you can really find your own taste here fore sure

  • because there are some fruity beer

  • actually many many options here

  • it's like...

  • apple taste

  • rasberry

  • pear

  • grape

  • strawberry

  • orange

  • lemon

  • all kinds of taste

  • and very often

  • they are with very low percent

  • so it's like 2%, 3%

  • 0.5%

  • if you are

  • a fitness girl

  • who wants to try beer

  • but you don't want to get fat

  • and you want lighter taste

  • so there are also many, many options here

  • and you can just find them in the normal stores

  • and supermarket

  • or

  • if you are really those elegant level of lady

  • and you want to drink only wine

  • also

  • because we are in European continent

  • like our Chinese friends

  • they all say that

  • wine are so cheap here

  • it is very cheap

  • like those even I would say it's expensive

  • they still say it's super cheap

  • they say in China it's just ridiculous about wine

  • I don't know about Taiwan

  • Taiwan is also very expensive

  • those wine we also import them

  • from Europe mostly

  • Europe, America

  • anyways far away

  • so it's expensive

  • the whole Europe is based on drinking

  • I mean I know it sounds very weird

  • but according to the history

  • alcohol was there

  • in every countries I guess

  • in Europe alcohol is popular

  • that's why we have many varieties..

  • what about some special

  • "special alcohol"

  • only from Poland?

  • something that we are very famous of

  • is our honey

  • Sansan is going to show it

  • I'm gonna talk right now

  • this honey..

  • basically you have...

  • (?)

  • it taste really, really sweet

  • it has around 20% of alcohol

  • looks like this

  • no commercial

  • open like wine

  • already smell very honey

  • very sweet

  • very sticky

  • and Sansan is not really a big fan of this

  • I'm not a big fan of too strong alcohol

  • but I like it

  • it is nice

  • if you are a tourist and you want to bring something special

  • so take that honey

  • it's called

  • and if you want to take the best, really rich taste

  • also remember to take something which is called

  • here

  • remember this, ok?

  • if you are gonna take something which is trójniak

  • it's gonna taste less rich

  • so it's not gonna be such a pleasant taste

  • tako!

  • also about drinking in public

  • in Poland it's very very prohibited

  • basically if you're gonna drink on the street

  • police will catch you anyway

  • or even city guards

  • but don't worry

  • because in summer

  • there are many bars, restaurants

  • they definitely have outdoor seats

  • and you can just have sunbathing

  • and drink beer at the same time

  • but if you really want to save money

  • or you want to take your own beer

  • so you can go - for example here

  • in Warsaw

  • at Wisla side

  • at the riverside

  • there is a beach

  • that you can legally drink beer there

  • and no one is gonna catch you

  • actually there is a very nice system working there

  • because there are some people selling beer there

  • cans and everything are collected by homeless

  • so it stays clean

  • very cool

  • about the other types of alcohol

  • whisky

  • is also popular here

  • but not super popular

  • whisky and cognac

  • you can buy it everywhere

  • also many varieties

  • but Poland is not famous of Whisky

  • we don't really produce Whisky

  • I really like Bourbon

  • I mean I don't know why

  • I know those aged, nice Whisky is good

  • but I sometimes like to drink this

  • very cheap bourbon for example

  • overall bourbon is ok

  • Cognac I'm not a super fan of this

  • but if someone give it to me, I will drink it

  • but I'm not a huge fan of it

  • and I'm totally not a fan of vodka

  • I know I am Polish

  • but I just don't like vodka

  • you will see lots of vodka

  • many versions

  • cheap as well

  • very cheap one

  • we even have one which is called

  • it's really called TV vodka

  • it cost around 13zl

  • it's super cheap

  • and it's half liter

  • I think it's even in the plastic bottle

  • anyway

  • we have vodka

  • many varieties

  • from very cheap one, shitty one

  • to very rich

  • taste

  • because for me it always taste the same

  • but I have to say there are many options here

  • because I also tried

  • lemon one

  • orange one

  • strawberry

  • many of them

  • and there is some kind of taste

  • but vodka taste is really strong

  • so it's hard for them to cover over the vodka taste

  • but I feel like

  • according to this communist time

  • vodka was super popular

  • and right now it's really...

  • at least what I see on the street

  • vodka is really getting less and less popular in Poland

  • which I find it actually good

  • I feel like there is way, way better options on the market

  • to buy instead of vodka

  • what about Taiwan?

  • can you actually find any whisky

  • or vodka in Taiwan?

  • whisky yes

  • and vodka I never pay any attention...

  • probably you can

  • but it's definitely not popular

  • maybe in the bar

  • because many times

  • I heard in the club, in the bar

  • that they are talking about vodka

  • but if you are just talking about drinking at home

  • rather no

  • ok ok

  • because as I can see

  • in Taiwan

  • many commercials are like luxurious people

  • they are all drinking whisky

  • whisky is really promoted as

  • nice drink for home

  • about commercial

  • in Taiwan

  • you can actually see many commercials of alcohol

  • even very high % one

  • I saw it

  • tell me about the time

  • they are played only during the evening?

  • no

  • there is no restriction

  • even morning?

  • awesome

  • no restriction

  • I can see there is beer

  • there is really whisky

  • that was shocking me

  • because we don't have high percent alcohol commercial

  • only beer

  • wow

  • only cider

  • only those....

  • lower percent alcohol

  • I think also wine is abandoned

  • on the street for sure

  • there are no commercials of vodka

  • or any high percent alcohol

  • that's true

  • only beer

  • and in TV what you see?

  • only beer

  • maximum cider

  • next about homemade alcohol

  • we also have something which is called Nalewka

  • and nalewka is basically made from many kind of fruits

  • you can add for example

  • some lemon

  • some cherry

  • anything like that

  • add some spirits alcohol

  • it's like very huge alcohol%

  • even like 90 sth %

  • but when you mix it with fruits

  • % is gonna be less

  • those nalewka is usually like 40% up

  • 50% or even 70% you gonna find

  • taste very sweet in my opinion

  • and very much vodka feeling

  • very strong

  • it burns you

  • Sansan is really not a fan of this

  • but if you want to try

  • in Poland you can really find it in some private shops

  • or if you are visiting your friend

  • so probably their dad will offer you

  • also one more thing

  • very special one

  • absinthe

  • you ever try it?

  • never actually

  • you should

  • absinthe is something very very high percent

  • usually it's with very grennish color

  • very black color

  • or very pinky color

  • many colors

  • depends on the percentage

  • it's actually alcohol contain some opium

  • but

  • in Europe

  • in EU law

  • I think the amount is that less

  • that it's not gonna give you any illusion

  • but

  • I think in some countries

  • in Europe

  • you can still find some homemade opium alcohol

  • and you will see some hallucination and illusion after that

  • I drink absinthe, I like it

  • I like the taste actually

  • it's very very nice

  • you should try it

  • but this one is very very expensive

  • so that was it

  • about Polish alcoholism

  • see you guys on the next episode

  • byebye

  • see you!

  • love you!

  • BYEBYE!!!!
