Ožujsko


Ožujsko is a popular beer brand in Croatia. It is a product of the Zagrebačka Pivovara, one of the oldest breweries in the country. The name "Ožujsko" is derived from the Croatian word for March, "ožujak", which is the month the beer was first brewed.

History[edit | edit source]

Zagrebačka Pivovara was established in 1892, and Ožujsko was first brewed in March 1893. The beer quickly gained popularity due to its unique taste and quality. Over the years, Ožujsko has become a symbol of Croatian brewing tradition and is now one of the most consumed beers in the country.

Production[edit | edit source]

Ožujsko is a lager beer, brewed using traditional methods. The main ingredients are water, barley malt, hops, and yeast. The brewing process involves the fermentation of the malted barley, which is then combined with hops and yeast. The mixture is then left to ferment for a period of time before it is filtered and packaged.

Varieties[edit | edit source]

There are several varieties of Ožujsko available, including Ožujsko Pivo (the original lager), Ožujsko Cool (a light beer with a lower alcohol content), and Ožujsko Strong (a stronger version with a higher alcohol content). Each variety has its own unique taste and characteristics.

Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]

Ožujsko is not just a beer in Croatia, it is a part of the country's culture and tradition. It is often served at social gatherings, festivals, and sporting events. The brand also sponsors various cultural and sporting events in the country.
