Croatia’s First Microbrewery Celebrates 20th Anniversary with 2 New Products

Croatia’s oldest microbrewery celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, and to mark the occasion they have just launched two new products on the market…

Pivnica Medvedgrad, which was Croatia’s first mircobrewery when it entered the market with 3 beer varieties back in December 1994, has more good news for quality beer lovers. For two decades Pivnica Medvedgrad have successfully produced naturally brewed beer in the traditional way, without additives or preservatives, using only the highest quality natural ingredients. The brewery’s two bottled beer products, Grička vještica (extra strong – 7.5%) and Dva klasa (wheat beer), were joined last week by two new options – Zlatni medvjed (lager) and Crna kraljica (dark beer).

“Our aim was to start with beers which had no competition on the market, which were Dva klasa (Croatia’s first wheat beer), and Grička vještica, which was Croatia’s strongest beer at 7.5%. The reaction has been excellent and that is why we decided to start bottling our other beers,” Pivnica Medvedgrad Sales Manager Ivan Nauković said.

Pivnica Medvedgrad, who also operate beer halls in Zagreb (Ilica, Adžijina, Tkalčićeva & Samoborska streets) and Mokrice (Oroslavje), will celebrate their 20th birthday with their customers. From 1 – 8 December there will a 20% discount on all beers and some bar snacks on the house. On 4 December the bar on Ilica will host a massive party.
