Podpiwek is a Polish and Lithuanian non-alcoholic beverage (even though it contains a small amount of alcohol, about 0.5%).
It is usually made from grain coffee, hops, yeast, water and sugar, which undergo fermentation.
Often created as a byproduct during beer production, it was a common drink of women and children.
