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.

From bottle at Beer O’Clock in Bucharest 11.09.23. They had it on tap, but insisted only on serving it in 0,5 litres measure. A strong beer like this should be served in an appropriate glass and an appropriate measure. So I went for a 0,33 bottle, which is probably more expensive than 0,5 from draught. Aroma of chives , sorrel and rotting grass. Similar taste with pine and grapefruit bitterness and alcohol. Not great. Perhaps it had been better fresh on draught.

Huge, stable, off-white head over veiled, very carbonated golden beer, textbook lace. Inviting C-hops, bit lime-like, but also Linden (blossom); other citrus(peel), bananapeel. Bitter, C-hops, exotic fruit & resin, citruspeel and -oils; vegetable frying oil in the aftertaste. Well-carbonated, very hopoily feel, but also creamy from the indestructible head. Quite good. Txs to Stef!
