Description
Innovative, promising and high-quality microbrewery. This are the significant words that describe our young team of Green Gold Brewing from Savinja Valley in the heart of Slovenia. And if you ask us about our distinctive characteristic, we would definitely say that there is something about the place where we live, breath and work. Why so? Our hometown is one of the most significant Slovenian (and also European) hop regions – therefore we had no choice but to brew the best beer.
Just like every successful story, ours started in the garage of today’s Green Gold Brewing. From the very beginning, owner Luka Rojnik strives for beer not only to be a drink but a surplus with amazing superpowers. In our beers, the Slovenian tradition and years of brewing experiences are intertwined by Luka’s accumulation of different acknowl- edges throughout the world.
In the story of Green Gold Brewing, Slovene hop varieties Aurora, Styrian Dragon, Celeia, Bobek, Styrian Wolf and others are playing the main roles. They are so important to us that you will find them in every can, beer tap or barrel that you choose, whether it’s a Pale Ale, IPA, Hoppy Lager or something else.

Can, 0.33l. Hazy orange pour, half finger soapy white head. Short lasting but leaving nice lacing on the glass. Good hop character on the nose, pine, tropical, grassy. Thin body, medium to high carbonation. Prickly on the tongue, fizzy mouthfeel. Light texture. Nicely bitter taste with very subtle fruity tart. Strong hop aroma, notes of pine, grapefruit and orange peel. Juicy aftertaste. Mild caramel malt in the background. Long lasting spicy herbal finish, bitter and dry. Pretty good IPA. Well hopped, bitter and juicy.

On tap @ 6. Cameralov festival mikropivovarjev, courtesy of Saska. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate and caramel. Pours almost black murky with thin creamy brown head and fair lacing. Taste resembles the aroma, there are licorice and grassy notes present, too. Full body, thick texture and soft carbonation in palate. Who needs oil? We need more imperial stouts!

Hazy, golden-yellow colored, medium white head. Aroma is of some malt, medium+ citrusy and tropical fruity hops. Taste is medium sweet malt, light caramel, bit grain, medium hoppy citrus, tropical fruit and herbal notes, medium+ bitterness with lasting aftertaste, dry finish. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, oily. Best one from the brewery, but could still have fresher hoppy aromas. (on tap, Sir Williams, Ljubljana)

Hazyish, amber colored, medium- frothy white head. Aroma is of some malt, bit caramel, moderate fruity, melon, some citrus, herbal notes. Taste is medium sweet malt, caramel, bit grains, medium melony fruity, bubble gum, light coconut, herbal hops, medium bitterness, dryish finish. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, bit oily. Decent IPA, could be better, but I have to say the quality of the packaging is amazing, from the can to the label. (can)

Pours fairly clear golden colour, topped with a medium sized white head. Intense and very pleasant fruity mango nose, sweet, with some citrusy notes forming the background. Taste starts gently bittery with nice and sweet fruity feeling pushing through it. Sparkly texture, light body. Great summer freshener.
