Hm... from my modern Polish-American perspective, I would be looking for
something along the lines of, well, beer soup. Beer soup is apparently a 
rather standard preparation, like a cream soup-- beer and broth, 
thickened with flour and/or eggs. Usually a wheat beer or other lighter 
beer is used. The result is definitely of a cream or very light cheese 
soup.
