Browar Rockmill

In the wild, the cuckoo is a parasite: instead of building its own nest, it smuggles its eggs into the nests of other birds and leaves them to incubate and raise its offspring. This phenomenon is not only found in resourceful birds, however: a whole range of other animal species act in a similar way and with the rise of the craft beer movement, the practice has also spread to humans. There, however, the process is peaceful and by mutual consent.

The friendly cuckoo(brewer) next door

Like many young breweries in the craft beer scene, the Rockmill team is one of the so-called cuckoo brewers. They do not have their own brewing system, but rely on the brewhouses of established breweries. Instead of sneaking in secretly, however, they politely ask first and then rent space officially. This not only creates friendships between colleagues, but also collaborations that combine the know-how and brewing experience of two or more breweries in one beer. Browar Rockmill gained its first experience in 2017. In idyllic Gdansk, a group of beer-loving friends met and decided to brew their own beer from now on. The aim of the venture is to produce beers that capture both the rich tradition and beer culture of Poland, as well as the current inventive spirit and the exciting variety of flavors of the present. New Wave with centuries-old roots, so to speak. This motto has brought the brewery success and attention at national and international level right from the start. The brewers use and continue to use their momentum to make a name for themselves at competitions, trade fairs and events — a mission they have definitely succeeded in and been rewarded with prestigious awards.

One step further with every sip

Because life as a traveling brewer is difficult, Rockmill is aiming to have its own brewery in the future. Every beer sold makes a small contribution to making this dream come true. The brewers now have an impressive portfolio of more than a hundred different beers, including numerous collaborations with well-known names in the craft beer scene. The creations can currently be tasted in 18 countries around the world, but you can also visit the brewery's taproom in Gdansk and enjoy the freshly tapped specialties there. The latest beer is always flowing from the 16 taps and the bartenders behind the counter are happy to advise you. Because Gdansk is not exactly around the corner for most of us, you will find a small, fine selection of the latest beers from Rockmill here - your own taproom with freshly brewed beer straight from Poland!
