Description
Craft brewery “Gorštak” (PZ “Gorštak” with p.o. Laktaši) was founded in late 2016 as the first craft brewery in the Banja Luka region and located in Glamočani near Banja Luka.

“Gorštak” produces natural unfiltered kraft beers according to its own recipes, combining modern techniques of craft brewing, traditional brewing ingredients, but also medicinal herbs of our region, spices, honey and more.

“Gorštak” is the result of great enthusiasm, desire and love for quality home-brewed beer from craft production.

The use of any artificial additives, flavors, preservatives, enzymes, dyes, stabilizers and the like is out of the question!

All the organoleptic properties of our beers come from a combination of natural raw materials and one essential ingredient – love.

This craft is difficult, but at the same time it is a great pleasure, because it is an honor and a privilege to continue the tradition of making beer, as one of the pillars of modern civilization.

Das letzte Bier aus Bosnien vom Balkan-Geschäft an der Wiedner Hauptstraße und jenes, das am wenigsten lange abgelaufen 😇 war.
Es war ein solides IPA mit deuzlichen, nett komponierten 🤹‍♂️ Bitternoten, wenn auch nicht besonders ausgewogen und freundlich.
Gut trinkbar, aber wird schnell fad.

Auch das Pale Ale 🪙 war abgelaufen, aber noch in Ordnung.
Allerdings konnte es nicht wirklich herausstechen 🥴, sondern war recht fad und flach. Einzig die sich türmende Schaumkrone 🗼 gefiel mir gut.

Das Brown Ale 🤎 aus Bosnien war zwar auch schon abgelaufen, aber noch gut.
Es sieht schon wie ein Stout 🖤 aus, hat aber deutlich süße 🍭Keksaromen 🍪 im malzigen Körper. Dieser ist zwar schön rund, aber insgesamt ist es mir etwas zu flach.

Zufällig gefunden in einem Spezialgeschäft in der neugestalteten Wiedner Hauptstraße. Leider war mmein Exemplar schon abgelaufen und hatte schon einen muffigen, alten 👴 Geschmack.
Dahinter versteckten sich aber nette hopfig-grasige 🌿 Noten mit getreidigen Ansätzen 🌾, weshalb ich glaube, dass es im frischen Zustand ein durchaus gutes Bier ist.
