Description
It all started when we were fifteen and couldn’t buy beer after rowing trainings. We decided to make our own because why not? It took a long eight years of studying, brewing, experimenting and working our asses off. And than we finally reached the point where we were happy with our brew and decided to open a proper brewery. Thus the Lobik Brewery was born. It took another two years of heavy debts and unpaid working hours until our hard work paid off. We were recognised as one of the best breweries in the region.

We are named after the silver carp, the very fat fish roaming the rivers and lakes of Europe. Its shape resembles the body of one our brewers after he quit rowing. With all the fat he gained the nickname Lobik came included. From the look of things the whole team will earn the nickname rather soon.

The goal of the brewery from the very beginning has remained the same. It means making the beers we like to drink. Admittedly it means they are a bit heavy on the alcohol and complex with its tastes. Consequentially it means we use the highest quality of ingredients. Anyway, enough about us. We just hope you like our beers and drink them with the joy we do!

Tap at Beeryard 3. Deep golden body. Peaches, cherries and a herbal touch in the aroma. Citric hoppiness, slightly lighter than expected, backed by a fine, soft maltiness. The notes are, again, sparse, and I look forward to trying this, since I seem to have liked it.

Tap at Beeryard 3. Hazy yellow-golden body with a white head. Juicy aroma, mostly peach, big hoppiness. Taste... juicy, peachy, somewhat herbal, bit lighter than expected, medium bitterness in the end (if I noted it well), a bit dry, fine enough, as quality as expected. Will retry soon!

9 August 2018. At Craft Room, Zagreb. Cheers to Anke!
Sample. Hazy dark golden with a lasting, foamy, white head; lots of lacing. Aroma of dank cheese, 'sweaty feet' even, ripe orange & mango, pine & spruce, hint of bread, pear, unripe tangerine. It tastes light to medium hoppy bitter, piney & grassy, and light fruity sweet, notes of ripe mango & green banana, a bit bready. Dry, piney & resinous hoppy finish, lingering bitter fruit (grapefruit, orange peel), some warming jenever alcohol. Medium to full body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Good hop quality, but not the most elegant of beers.

Sample. Cloudy yellow with a lasting, small, unstable, frothy, white head; irregular lacing. Aroma of fruity yoghurt, peach, white nectarine, passionfruit, lemon, hint of dough, papaya & carambola. It tastes medium fruity sweet, tropical, dough & yoghurt, a bit dank, and light to medium hoppy bitter, orange rind & grapefruit notes; toned down by a sour lemony accent. Dryish, floral & piney hoppy finish, lingering tropical fruit & yoghurt. Medium body, creamy/'fluffy' texture, fizzy carbonation. Recommended APA.

9 August 2018. At Craft Room, Zagreb. Cheers to Anke!
Sample. Hazy yellow with a thin, frothy, unstable white head; irregular lacing. Fresh aroma of passionfruit, pineapple, lemon zest, orange, peach, dough, bit lactic. Medium fruity sweet onset, lots of passionfruit & peach, building up a light hoppy bitterness - grapefruity - with a sourish lemon accent. Dryish, floral & fruity hoppy finish, bit dough-like, lingering tropical fruits. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Fruity & assertively hoppy. This is the stuff you should be looking for.
