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.

Bottle at Scout Club Irish Pub in Samobor, Croatia Wednesday 10th September 2025 after a 3hr 45mins drive from Brodarica nr Šibenik, weather was initially cloudy and drizzle today, but then shocking weather, absolutely battering it down with rain, however slowing up now. This isn't quite a nailed on Westy but it's close, nice bittersweet balance, good hoppiness and I like the malty backbone, it's surprisingly easy drinking for a 6.8% beer. Soft mouthfeel, a little fruity throughout. Good.

Bottle at Scout Club Irish Pub in Samobor, Croatia Wednesday 10th September 2025 after a 3hr 45mins drive from Brodarica nr Šibenik, weather was initially cloudy and drizzle today, but ignore that, it's completely battering it down with rain, really heavy downpour, though might (fingers crossed it might be slowing down). Nice gold colour with a mid sized white head, looks great. Nice mouthfeel, soft, light fruitiness, easy drinking, uncomplicated, I like this.

Bottle at Goblet. Hazy full yellow body, off-white head, tiny but there. White grapes and grainy malty notes in the aroma. Lean, dry taste, grainy bit, smooth, leaning on white grapes and herbs, bitterish finish. Okay, simple, but unimpressive sadly. Mlinarica can do better.

Bottle at Goblet. Hazy golden, off-white head. Dank and oniony aroma, sharp. Lean dry minerally taste, vague caramelly touches. Herbal, oniony, resinous, lightly dank notes, bitter finish. Bit washed out, light lasting bitterness.... But hmmm, as it warms slightly and therefore shows more body, it does give more body and citric notes. Kinda my type, kinda not really the best expression of any of the listed hops.
