The company claims that in 1525 Polish King Sigismund I the Old granted the town Leżajsk the exclusive right to brew beer.

Since its recent upgrades, it is estimated that the brewery has a capacity of 1.85 million hl a year. Leżajsk constitutes for 17% of Grupa Żywiec's output. The company has two different brews: Leżajsk Pełne and Leżajsk Mocne beers. The brew has won several awards, including Eurobeer 1995, Polagra and Chmielaki. The brewery also makes Podkarpackie, Tatra Jasne Pełne and Tatra Mocne.

The Lezajsk's logo features a blue and red shield with a cursive L on the foreground.
