Description
“It started back in 2013, with a glass of beer. Razvan, my brother, invited me to Beer O’Clock in the Old Town area, the only craft beer pub in Bucharest at that moment. He handed me a glass of Punk IPA by Brewdog and told me it will change what I thought I knew about beer. After drinking it, I felt like I was lied my entire life, imprisoned in a box. It is unbelievable how much more a simple glass of beer can offer you, more than what I drank before.
…we realized no one was doing it in Romania and we thought: What if we make a brewery?” – Alin Matache, owner Ground Zero.
With an initial investment of about 100.000 euro won at poker and after many attempts to find the best recipes and the “fight” to obtain all authorizations, Alin and Razvan opened the craft beer studio Ground Zero Beer on 1st of April 2015 in Baneasa, Bucharest.

BOTTLE 33 CL from Berero. Hazy golden, sparking white head. Smells like pickled cucumber or sauerkraut brine with some honey thrown in, a little bit of spice. Really tangy lactic sourness - something like sauerkraut brine and lemon juice - with a dash of fruity sweetness and bready notes. Light pickles like yeasty notes in the finish, nothing offensive though. Not much salt. Quite nice, well put together.
