 Starting in 1922 , the production of Grodziskie was continued by only one company , Zjednoczone Browary Grodziskie ( United Grodzisk Breweries ) . Between 1929 and 1993 , this style had a regionally protected designation put in place by the cabinet of Poland . Production continued under the German occupation of Poland during World War II , and the beer was distributed to German forces fighting in the war . After the Second World War , the breweries were nationalized , and the beer began a period of decline . The communist government in Poland emphasized the large @-@ scale production of basic products like bread , milk , and sugar , and local culinary traditions were neglected . In part , this was due to restrictions on individual businesses and the inability of brewers to profit from the production of small @-@ scale , high @-@ quality foods , and their inability to advertise local goods and specialties . In the early 1980s , different variations of the style were created with different colors and alcohol strengths . After the Communist period in Poland ended in 1989 , production continued under the private ownership of Lech Browary Wielkopolski , but ended in 1993 , when the brewery was closed due to lack of profitability , and because of the difficulty in finding workers who had experience producing the style . Commercial production of this style ceased for several years , but since 2010 , some breweries have produced seasonal or limited production runs of the style .
