Tap to rate

Slovenia's national beer — named after the Zlatorog, the golden-horned chamois of Slovenian Alpine legend. Clean, crisp and refreshing with subtle grain sweetness and a dry finish. Zlatorog is the taste of Slovenia: the pint at Ljubljana's open-air bars, at festivals on the Adriatic coast and in mountain huts above Triglav.
