The old Ex-yu topic is frozen, so I will open the new one about the Croatian beer scene. I will start with Croatian most important craft breweries. I need to update this post, but for now that will do. What kind of Croatian craft beers did you try? Your impressions?

Tried quite a number of craft stuff from our neighbours, but the best one was without doubt and hands down Zmajska Pozoj. The first batch was very decent, the second was great and the last one was just superb.

Also one of my favourites. Yesterday, Nova runda had the promotion of their new limited IPA called C4, a lot of people told me that this was the best Croatian craft beer they tasted so far. And it’s all gone. Just in Ro&Do pub last night from 7PM all 8 kegs vanished.

The Advanced Search shows it as the highest scoring Croatian beer as well, doh.

Yes, I heard about C4 being made, but haven’t heard any feedback yet. Will have to try it as it seems. Hopefully they’ll make a whole bunch of it before I make it to Zagreb.

I wrote something about C4 here
I think that they will not cook it any soon but let’s hope so.
