What do you guys think of San Servolo IPA and APA? Haven’t tried them yet, but it seems people are not too excited about them

San Servolo IPA is beyond crap. Like, imagine the lamest attempt at an "English IPA" and add unnecessary bottle conditioning with yeast not suited to that.

The APA kinda works, but is still the worst Croatian APA on the market.

These guys really don’t know much about beer and it shows.

Also, Branko, jebemu, ako moš, popravi naslov da bude "Croatian". :D

As soon as Brlog’s Indiegogo closed, another one started. Pulfer - a band of relatively "new" but very much accomplished homebrewers, at least one of which I know from completely different circles from way back when, have been doing test batches over at Kahli, where Nova Runda used to brew, for quite a while now, and are looking for funding with a long-term goal of financing a brewery of their own (let’s just say that Kahli is far from ideal for contract brewing). Tried at least 4 different homebrews of theirs and couldn’t find a flaw with a single one of them, so yeah, they know their shit and are worth supporting. :D Also, I wish they asked someone, anyone, to spellcheck their IndieGogo page....

Does anybody know status of All in, Red Baron, Bosnjak and other gypsy/contract breweries/beers? According to a new Croatian law about independent breweries, you cannot get a status of an independent brewery ( and by this smaller tax fee ) if you brew for somebody else beside your own brewing. By this, All In, Bosnjak, Red Baron and other breweries that were brewed in Daruvarska brewery are in problems. Also, Nova Runda cannot brew Big Hoof Brown Porter for the guys from Montenegro. Good news is that they will brew Big Hoof Porter for themselves.
