New generation beer
with incomparably memorable taste

Craft beer making is an art and like any mastery it requires inspiration, attitude, passion, skill and a lot of imagination. My inspiration for beer was born in Germany, where I spent six unforgettable years. Beer was the pulling force around which I built lifelong friends and wonderful memories, but most of all an attitude and understanding of the true qualities of this elixir. My passion for the distinctive characteristics of good beer and my dislike of mediocre beer was further enhanced during my next four years in America. It was there that the idea of creating a brewery of a new dimension was born, where making beer was an art. My path took me to Switzerland, where I learned from the industry's leading craft brewers. From there, my imagination brought me back to Bulgaria to create a new generation and quality craft brewery where beer is my art.

Craft Beer Concept

Unpasteurised

beer with amber hue and natural freshness, unfiltered, naturally carbonated and rich in taste

Reinheitsgebot

is the German beer purity law, which is our leading standard for building an unparalleled product

Production

and raw materials without any preservatives, impurities and external factors, without stabilizers and synthetic enzymes

Technology

and our processes result in a memorably unique taste without compromise or equivalent

Our process

Milling

For the production of beer, sugar is needed, which is contained in the malt and its milling produces the starch that aids fermentation.

Mashing

In mashing, infusion takes place by mixing ground malt with hot water to convert starch into fermentable sugar.

Lautering

At this stage, the wort is washed with hot water to wash away residual sugar and grain, resulting in optimal enzyme extraction.

Boiling

This is a key step in beer production that stops enzyme activity and sterilizes the wort. Hops are added at this stage for aroma and flavour.

Whirlpool

At this stage, the so-called whirlpool is made, which helps to separate the hop residues, thus clarifying the wort and contributing to a better taste.

Cooling

Once the wort is boiled, it is cooled. To do this, it is passed through a heat exchanger where oxygen is added. The wort is cooled down sharply.

Fermentation

At this stage the wort is transferred to fermenters and the yeast is added. When they are activated, the generation of alcohol and carbon dioxide begins.

Consumption

Once the beer is ready and chilled comes the most pleasant moment, namely its consumption, which leaves a unique and unforgettable taste.
