Description
Pioneers of craft brewing in Croatia! Like Americas breweries, we started craft beer revolution in Croatia, because we want to refresh beer offer in Croatian market. Currently, customers can only buy boring domestic Euro lagers - but not for long!!

As awarded homebrewers, we are passionate about our ales, and we would like to give opportunity to Croatian consumers to enjoy in our beers. Making beers because of quality and flavor, and not because of the cash flow :). Our portfolio will be from cask ales to craft kegs!

Let's start together - Croatian craft beer revolution!!!!

On tap at Beerdello Zagreb. Hazy yellow/orange coloured, small white head, citrusy and oaty nose. Citrusy, fruity, notes of pineapple and oats with bitterish sweetish finish. Too fruity for my taste.

Can at Brūstok 2026 with... err, every interested person. Brought these to *represent*! This can went through a lot... brought from Rijeka by the Amazing Mr. Boneta himself who left it at Cajt... Hrabren was supposed to pick it up for me, but forgot which beer he needed to get... the barman had a brain fart as well and just handed him a Pulfer beer. Netting me a Joaquin tick. Some time later, when I returned to Zagreb, Krešo, the owner of the place gave it to Jerko from the Zagreb homebrew association who brought it to the stag party for Dime from Mlinarica. It survived the night, traveled to Prague and then Plzeň with me. A can with a story.

And the beer? Weeelll... dark brown, blackish body, off-white head. Coconut, heaps of coconut in the aroma, some cocoa. Sweet taste, maybe too sweet, but with a lovely coconut presence (guess Ogi hates lactose more than he loves coconut?), with the cocoa backing it up. Oooh yeah, this was tasty! And almost everyone loved it at the fest!

Tap at Goblet ZG. Murky yellow body, off-white head - lasting at least. BIt oaty aroma, grape jelly. More grape jelly in the taste, slightly oaty, bit of herbal notes, slightly minerally. Bit underwhelming for Nova Runda standards really.
