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.

0.375 l bottle shared with Ogi and Marko at Goblet Beer Store, Zagreb. Unclear amber, minimal head. Aroma is cheesy and goaty, caramel, marmelade, molasses, hint of candy and dried fruit. Moderate tartness, moderate to high vinegar presence. Sour, intense, quite overwhelming. Lemony tartness with a hint of apricot marmelade underneath. Finishes tart, astringent and slightly aggressive.

Bottle at Goblet with Hrabren and Ogi, thx guys! Hazy deep amber body, off-whtie head. Very dry dried fruit-driven perfumey floral aroma. Lean, dry taste, dried fruit, soap, some funk, lightly acetic, minerally, sourish, bit flat. A bit shaky for the standards of the series I'm afraid!

Tap at Goblet. Lightly, lightly hazy golden body, almsot clear, thick white head. Lightly creamy, crackery-grainy sweetish aroma, low hoppiness, low diacetyl. Lean, soft dry grainy, malty taste, low sweetness, too lean of a body perhaps, missing some Saaz aromatics there really, and it was their focus, loow diacety, bitterish dry finish that kinda grows, adequate. Good, well lagered lager by all means, but the result is kinda at the edges of the Czech pils style. And congrats Edi for your mali purger! <3

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!
