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!

Pours hazy amber, topped with a smaller and non-lasting tan head. Mild roasted coffee with some dark chocolate notes. In teh back some fruity hoppy notes develop. Nice hoppy bitterness in teh beginning with some coffee notes in the mix, which are more notable in teh lasting aftertaste, but all in all hoppiness still rules. Lighter body and nicely drinkable.

Bottle received in a trade with MarkoNm. Pours cloudy pale orange with a big frothy off white head. Lovely hoppy and fruity aroma, particularly grapefruit, pineapple and lemon, touch of biscuit too. Medium fruity sweetness, citrus bitterness. Quite light body, slight oily texture, more than average carbonation. Finish is slightly dry and bitter. Nice one.

0.33 l bottle at William’s Pub, Ljubljana. Shared with lovely Anja. Opaque, very hazy dirty yellow to golden, huge creamy off-white head. Looks out of this world. Heavily hopped, extremely fruity, tropical all the way. Sweet and fruity, bitterness develops slightly. Light to medium body, soft carbonation, mild gentle texture, moderate dry finish. Extreme hoppiness as expected, a little off-balance, but very tasty and interesting.

Pours pitch black, topped with a smaller beige head, not really lasting. Pleasant combination of dark chocolate and gently roasted coffee that gets strong as it warms. Some yoghurt notes (thanks to spelt), vanlla and some alcohol notes. Medium full, silky smooth with just the right amount of sweetness of chocolate that gets more dark and bittery later on, as well as some coffee character. Warming feel of bourbon, not too strong. Nice one.

Draft @ Pivo & Burger Fest Oct’16, Ljubljana. Dorée, léger trouble, col blanc. Arôme au nez marqué d’esters de banane, rétro houblonné noble moins dans l’inspiration saison, plus style abbaye. Palais est fortement axé sur les esters de bananes, point de malt en rétro ajoutant à cet aspect noble belge mais encore rappelant plus un style abbaye. Retrouve peu le côté rustique de saison, fini tire sur léger phénolique avec côté pomme verte, pointe d’épicé surement de la levure. Pas mauvaise, mais pas ce qu’on attend d’une saison.
