Once in a Blue Moon.

Our name came from a pretty random source. Back in the day, someone from the brewery exclaimed,
"Something this good comes around only once in a blue moon!"

From that day forward, we were Blue Moon Brewery Company. And that tasty brew became known as Blue Moon Belgium White Belgian-style wheat ale. It's a classic Belgian wit interpreted with Valenciaorange peel
for a hint of sweetness.

 

A Rare Event.
A Rare Brew.



A Rare Event.
A blue moon is the second full moon in one month. and it happens only once every 2 years. This year, there's a blue moon on New Year's Eve, which hasn't happened in 20 years.


A Blue Moon is the second full
moon in one month.
So when the clock strikes midnight, raise a pint of
Blue Moon beer to
ring in the
New Year.


HAPPY NEW YEAR.


 

A Rare Brew.


When we found out there was going to be a blue moon on New Year's Eve, we wanted to celebrate, So we brewed
Blue Moon Grand Cru.

This unique, limited-batch brew incorporates subtle hints of orange peel and coriander and delivers a warm, spicy finish.
Garnish it with an orange slice and celebrate.

Why partner with the Breast Cancer
Research Foundation?

At Mike’s, we’ve got a reputation for
being hard. But that doesn't’t mean
that we don’t have a soft side, too.
To help mark our 10th anniversary and
in memory of Jacqueline S., a part of the
Mike’s family since we were founded, and a
really great woman who left us way too soon,
we will be making a contribution to the
Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Cancer survivor

Our donation will fund research aimed at
preventing and curing breast cancer, and is our way of helping fight a fight that’s very personal to us here at Mike’s.

* "IMPORTED BY STAWSKI IMPORTS".

STAWSKI ABOUT US

For 45 years, Stawski Imports has continued to grow and maintain its position as the leading importer of alcoholic beverages from Central Europe.

Stawski Imports imports ten different vodkas from Poland (where vodka was born) including the most popular vodka in
Poland, "Zytnia®". The company also imports vodka from Lithuania and Russia. In addition, Stawski imports Stroh Rum
from Austria; Bulgarian brandy, wines, vermouths; Hungarian cherry palinka, Slovenian mineral water,
Croatian liqueurs, Turkish and Polish Honey Wines. Then, there are beers, which make up to 80 percent of Stawski's sales.

There are the staple Polish beers such as Perla, Lomza and Okocim,
which Stawski built his business on.
But Stawski saw the breaking of the
Iron Curtain as a chance to introduce excellent products that were hidden
from Western tastes.

Stawski plans to continue introducing new beers, wines and spirits from around the world.

The history of Stawski Imports is like any other successful firm: based on hard
work, identifying potential markets and following the high road of business ethics in dealing with customers.

Stawski's market of beers, honey wines, cordials, spirits and wines from the
countries in the center of Europe is one
built by the man who's name is over the company's door: Stanley Stawski.

Born in Poland in 1924, Stawski survived the 1939 invasion of his country by the Germans.
In 1944, he took part in the Warsaw Uprising as a member of the underground
Home Army. Captured and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp, Stawski headed to
Italy after his camp was liberated, and joined the 2nd Polish Corps.

Two years after the war ended, the British sent his unit to England and when the British demobilized his unit in 1951, Stawski left for the United States.
He had $20 in his pocket.

By 1954, Stawski was working as a liquor and wine salesman in Chicago.
Six years later, he opened his own company, importing beers from Poland and Austria.

As with any new business, the beginning years were difficult, especially
in dealing with countries that were, at the time, run by socialist governments
who distrusted anything American.
