Known for Stout · Session IPA

Croatia's first modern craft brewery and a pioneer of Croatian microbrewing — Pivovara Medvedgrad was founded in 1994 in Zagreb, named after the medieval castle Medvedgrad that overlooks the city from Mount Medvednica. One of the few Croatian breweries established as a genuine brewpub, Medvedgrad has operated continuously for over 30 years and is widely credited with sparking Croatian interest in craft beer styles beyond pale lager. The brewery's beers are sold exclusively in the brewery's own pub-restaurants in Zagreb.
