If something is selling like hotcakes, others will surely want to cash in on the name. <br /><br />Also, to help reclaim the original name of the beer, it's: "Grow-JEES-kee-uh".

It might be worth your time to contact them and see if someone there can give you some solid information. They also have a fairly extensive library on site (librarian Michaela Knör, lorberg@vlb-berlin.org) which may be of some use.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15886428096792672535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-915818657625757042013-05-13T05:53:51.772-07:002013-05-13T05:53:51.772-07:00Lars, it’s more than places or things having diffe...Lars, it’s more than places or things having different names in different languages. It’s because of the policy of enforced Germanisation of Poland that people are touchy about this particular issue. The native language of Grodzisk was suppressed and now their beer is being discussed using the name given to it by foreign rulers.<br /><br />English speakers should use Grodziskie. It’s not really any more difficult to say than Grätzer (probably most people are mispronouncing it Grahts-uh anyway).Barmhttp://refreshingbeer.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-14090730869387152392013-05-13T04:47:43.611-07:002013-05-13T04:47:43.611-07:00I think its fine for English speakers to use the G...I think its fine for English speakers to use the German word for this beer. No offense to Poland. It has nothing to do with German being better or anything to do with race, etc as the polish message alluded too. Its very common for English to use German names for cities in the east. How about Pilsner? Should it be call it Plzeňer? If I call it bohemian am I being insensitive to the Czechs since thats German too (and there is quite a history there too!)? How about Munich, only München from now on? Lets not even get to Chinese cities!<br /><br />I feel their pain, my grandfather is from Danzig. But again, Danzig is the English word for the city, and Gdansk is the polish, its not "anti polish" to refer to it that way, no more than the "anti-czech" or "anti-german" from above. <br /><br />So, I say you refer to the beer however you want, as both are correct.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-8912781779136789052013-05-13T04:19:32.457-07:002013-05-13T04:19:32.457-07:00Isn't it reasonable that the same style can ha...Isn't it reasonable that the same style can have different names in different languages, and still be one style? So it's grätzer in German and grodziskie in Polish?<br /><br />This doesn't occur so much with other beer styles that have been brewed in different places, but perhaps that's because those styles have names that translate better? I guess only speakers of Slavic languages are ever going to be comfortable with a name like grodziskie, so presumably translation of the name was inevitable from the start.<br /><br />Also, I don't see why they can't brew the same style of beer in both Berlin and Grodzisk. Of course, there could be sufficiently big systematic differences that there are two distinct styles (in which case the naming issue kind of dissolves itself).<br /><br />If gose could be brewed in both Copenhagen and Leipzig, surely grätzer can be brewed in more than one town?Lars Marius Garsholhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442220825022305581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-69177952955930738312013-05-13T02:23:16.147-07:002013-05-13T02:23:16.147-07:00Well, if Pilsner can be brewed in Germany, then so...Well, if Pilsner can be brewed in Germany, then so can Grätzer....Pivní Filosofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883511608403454943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-40936328974345389132013-05-13T00:58:46.860-07:002013-05-13T00:58:46.860-07:00Barm,
