Description
Mlinarica is known for its homely atmosphere. Tables and benches made of solid wood fill the interior of the space, and in the glass part of the pub there is a large fireplace. Every day we offer many homemade dishes, snacks, grilled dishes and homemade desserts, on weekends different baking.

In 2016, next to the brewery, we open a craft brewery and join the Zagreb beer revolution, offering guests top craft beers of different flavors and aromas.

On tap at Beerdello Zagreb. Pitch black coloured, small brownish head that went away fast, chocolate and light vanilla in the nose. Chocolate, vanilla, cocoa, light bourbon and some alcohol with warming sweet finish. Pleasant.

Bottle at the brewpub, with the bros at the Zagreb Homebrewers Association soirée. Almost clear golden body, thick off-white head at first. Smooth peachy, bit bretty aroma, lightly tart, and hmmm... vaguely cheesy for a moment or two. The taste is cleaner though, smooth peachy notes mixing well with solid brett, low herbal notes, lower still acidity. Bit restrained and too approachable for some, but a nice fruited brett beer nonetheless!

Bottle, 0.5l. Cloudy copper pour, one finger soapy off-white head, short lasting, minimal lacing on the glass. Nice on the nose, malty, floral, notes of ripe fruits, grassy.

Medium body, soft to medium carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, soft, chewy, creamy, slightly fizzy, easily drinkable. Nicely balanced bittersweet taste. Malty aroma, toasted caramel, bread, hay. Grassy and grainy notes, slightly floral, mild spice in the background. Ripe fruits, notes of citrus in the aftertaste. Medium lasting finish, slightly dry, spice notes, lingering herbal bitterness.

Pretty good.

Draught, shared with Finn at Taproom Uba Ja Humal. Black in the glass, spotty lacing, patches on the surface. Quite attractive roasted malts on the nose, hints of dried fruits. Fine balanced taste of raisin, bread, dark chocolate, and liquorice. Roasted malt driven ending, long lived. Fine depth to it. Pleasing. (Tallinn, 07.11.2025).
