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!!!!

0.5l can, thx Hrabren. Hazy pale shiny yellow body, off-white head. Lemon-driven aroma, low ginger. Lemony, gingery, smooth taste, lightly tart, low to no heat, low tartness, fairly okay, juicy. I mean, a very decent lemon-ginger beer, clean, nothing special, but good.

Can, thx Hrabren for sharing! Hazy golden body, off-white head. Honeyish, vaguely herbal aroma, mere traces of citric hoppy notes. Medium to lean body, dryish taste, citric, honeyish, herbal... not the best amarillo around, bit funky, slightly yeasty... dunno, the hops aren't shining too much, decentish pils.

Can at Pivnica Pivac, Rooster Pub, Makarska, Friday 5th September 2025 after another walk from Camp Riviera Makarska. Pours murky yellow with large white head. Super refreshing and tasty but wow there's an absolute shit ton of hops in here, really hoppy but juicy, fruity and super drinkable, mostly tropical fruit. Love this.

Lotsa mint. So so on the raspberry. Not bad. But could be better.

Can at Pivnica Pivac, Makarska, Croatia, Thursday 4th September 2025 after a short walk from our campsite on the edge of town. Pours warm orange, hazy, with a small/mid sized white head. Nice aroma, tropical with a malty background, nice mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Taste is leaning more towards tropical fruit, but also some overipe stone fruits like peaches. Like this, it takes a little time to assert itself but when it does, it's a pretty good beer.

Canned 500ml. -at Beerdello Zagreb. Hazy yellow coloured, minimal white head, radlerish lemony nose. Bready, watery, lemony, discreet ginger and that's it. Quite a letdown.
