Description
Zmajska pivovara rodila se iz strasti prema vrhunskom pivu i iz dugogodišnjega iskustva u kućnom pivarstvu. Željeli smo napraviti razliku s inovativnim i drugačijim pivima kakva donedavno nisu bila dostupna u lokalnoj ponudi. Svako naše pivo, bez obzira na stil kojemu pripada, iskreno je, prepoznatljivo i beskompromisno u kvaliteti.

Kao prva nezavisna pivovara u Hrvatskoj i jedni od začetnika naše craft scene, smatramo da naša odgovornost ne staje na proizvodnji i isporuci piva.
Želimo svim pivoljupcima objasniti magiju nastajanja piva, važnost kvalitete sastojaka i približiti bezbrojne kombinacije okusa i aroma. Nadamo se da naša Zmajska posla i uspijevaju u tome, a svaki HomeBrew Lab koji organiziramo ponudi nam paletu jako dobrih uradaka. Craft je za nas prijateljstvo i način života. I još puno toga... za što teško nalazimo riječi. Ali pokušavamo to preciznije izraziti našim festivalom craft piva i muzike Zmajevo.

Tap at the brewery. Misty golden-orange body, no head, or quickly disappearing at least. Bit earthy mango and coconut aroma, some pineapple. Smooth taste, coco-mango again, low pineapple, lower still tartness but not too sweet either. Solid tropical fruit beer all in all, somewhat juicy.
