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.

Bottle. Huge head with good duration. It takes a while to actually get to drink the beer because of this head. Aroma and taste are roast malt, nuts, hops, caramel and has a nice roasty finish.
