Żywiec APA beer

Żywiec APA (American Pale Ale) is a premium beverage produced by the historic Żywiec Brewery, located in the town of Żywiec, Poland. The brand is deeply rooted in Polish brewing traditions, having been established in 1856 by Archduke Albrecht Friedrich Rudolf von Österreich. It is well-known for its distinctive logo featuring the Crown of the Polish Crown and traditional dancers.

Today, the brand is owned by Grupa Żywiec, which is one of the largest brewing companies in Poland. The ultimate ownership of Grupa Żywiec lies with Heineken N.V., a global leader in the beer and cider industry headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Heineken holds a majority stake in the company, integrating the Polish brand into its extensive international portfolio while maintaining local production in Poland to ensure its authentic heritage and specialized flavor profile.
