Beer Birthday: Rafał Kowalczyk

January 3, 2026 By Jay Brooks

jabeerwocky

Today is the birthday of Rafał Kowalczyk, who founded the JaBEERwocky Brower in Warsaw, Poland. They also operate two pubs, one in Warsaw and the other in Poznan. I’ve judged several times and in several places with Rafał, but have only gotten to know him more recently, and he’s a terrific person. Join me in wishing Rafał a very happy birthday.
