Granny Beer

My grandmother, in Lodz, Poland, was a homebrewer in the 1930's, before the world went mad.
This Granny beer is an original-type Vienna lager: light amber, with a refined maltiness.
The Polish hops make this a Polish-style Vienna lager; I imagine my grandmother might have brewed this in the 1930s.
