The 2 Baltic Porters I've tried were excellent.

Try some of the porters, first, before dismissing Polish beers out of hand.

I couldn't agree more, that baltic porter is Poland's brewing visting
card.

There are 8 breweries here in Poland that still brew baltic Porters,
~22*Plato - Cieszyn (Zywiec Porter), Jedrzejow (Strzelec Porter/Brok
Porter), Lodz (Lodzki Porter), Miloslaw - Fortuna (Komes Porter) some
brewers offer "lighter" variations ~18*Plato Witnica (BOSS Porter),
Naklo (Krajan Porter), Zdunska Wola

And Okocim Porter that is brewed only for export (since reintroduction
of this baltic porter Carlsberg seems to ignore local beer enthusiasts
and this Porter is NOT available here in Poland (sad but true) ).

Thread starter Henning Sinz mentioned Tyskie in the topic (but it's
also true for Zywiec, Okocim, ...) - if You like pale european
mainstream lagers, high gravity brewing, etc. it's quite ok. ;) if You
seek more than that, there are some breweries offering decent lagers.
Unfortunately most of their products are available only here in Poland,
so You probably won't even have an opportunity to sample them.

We surely have not still developed a "beer-culture" like the Czechs,
but hey, our "national drink" was vodka for decades, now we try to
catch up with our neighbours.

Perhaps my palate is not as refined as Saudades', but I've enjoyed a
couple of Polish beers I've tried ( ywiec and Le ajsk, both available
at the LCBO in Ontario). I don't remember trying Tyskie though. You
can find some information about Polish breweries here:

Tyskie is very bland, watery, little body, barely noticeable hops. Same
on draught in Poland. At a similar alcohol percentage, Zywiec at least
manages to taste of hops and to have a decent balance, especially on
draught. But it may not last... :o((
