The founding of the party was brought into play already by the editors of the defunct men's monthly magazine Pan. The original aim of PPPP should the propagation of a culture full of beer drinking, instead of vodka, be in English style pubs and at the same time combating alcoholism.

Excerpt from the election program of the PPPP:

The flashy name and the disappointment of the Polish population of the political development of their country in the post-reunification period meant that the party has a relatively high percentage of votes of 3.27% was in the parliamentary elections in 1991 (10th place among 111 registered parties ), what the PPPP 16 seats in the Sejm earned.

Shortly afterwards, the party split into two factions: Małe Piwo and Duże Piwo ( Small and Large beer beer), contrary to the statement Rewińskis: Beer is not dark, not light, but simply tastes.

• Małe Piwo had 3 seats held (Adam Halberstadt, Krzysztof Ibisz and Adam Piechowicz ) and formed in the Sejm for a few months, the parliamentarians Round Spolegliwość and in the sequence ( after the departure of Adam Halbers to SLD) the county Party of Pensioners "Hope ".
• Duże Piwo had 13 seats ( Tomasz Bankowski, Tomasz Broke, Leszek Bubel, Sławomir Chabiński, Andrzej Czernecki Jerzy Dziewulski, Zbigniew Eysmont, Tomasz Holc, Marek Kloczko, Janusz Rewiński, Cezary Urbaniak Jan Zylber and Andrzej Zakrzewski ) and occurred in the Sejm under the name Polish Economic program (PPG ). A few months after the formation of the government Suchocka the PPG teamed up with the Liberal Democratic Congress ( KLD ) for Parliamentarians Association Polish Liberal program of Andrzej Leszek Bubel Czernecki and did not join.

Last Chairman of the Party PPPP was Leszek Bubel, under whose leadership they had recorded in the parliamentary elections of 1993, a catastrophic collapse of the voting share to 0.1%, with the effect that the group ceased its political activity and in the new statute in 1997 did not was registered again. The main reason for the weak performance was the candidacy of former PPPP deputies on other lists, mainly of the KLD.
