ALFA JSC began its business activity as the official distributor of Amstel and Pepsi Co. In 1997, a historic moment for ALFA JSC marked the beginning of production activity. ALFA JSC built a modern factory in the village of Glina (southern Albania), which made it possible to expand the activity with the production of the Famous Glina Water. The success led ALFA JSC to obtain the status of the Official Bottler for the Albanian territory in 1999.
In 2015, ALFA JSC began the production of Elbar beer, which is also the number 1 beer in Albania.

Can picked up at the roadside market in Nivicë. Gold with a fleeting head and lots of rather large bubbles. Aroma is a faint mix of dough and synthetic wrapping paper or fresh wrap. Taste is mildly bitter with a faint dough sweetness on the tongue at the end. Light bodied with a moderate carbonation more restrained than the optics would indicate. Not refreshing and not particularly inviting, but also fairly harmless.

Ok nisukas, tugev banaan ja asjad. Humalat/mõrudust võiks rohkem olla.
