Description
We are a group of 4 beer enthusiasts. We have never been strangers to crazy ideas - and one evening another crazy idea came up, which now occupies us fully and we have to forget about the others for a while. Brew your own beer in Piešťany - good, honest beer, full of flavor. Ones that we will not be ashamed of, and to which we will gladly invite family and friends.

We visited almost all Slovak microbreweries and many Czech ones to get inspiration. Yes, we were a little envious and peeked. We understood that the beer we want to brew will consist of only 4 basic ingredients - water, barley, hops and yeast. No added enzymes, preservatives and other additives - and therefore no European beer, but honest domestic beer.

And so we started cooking. Each batch is slightly different from the previous one, because we are still not convinced that we have found the ideal ratio of ingredients. But it will come. We are still learning and we really enjoy it :)

Bottle at 100 piv. Raw worty character both in aroma and flavour. For some reason the fermentation of this beer was only allowed to ginish half-way, which is a fact confirmed by the stated ABV. Meh.

0.33l bottle. Dark golden with high creamy white head. Aroma: grapefruit, mango, pineapple, caramel. Taste: citrus, caramel, bit yeasty. Medium/full body, moderate carbonation. High and long lasting bitterness. Less body would make it more drinkable, otherwise ok.
