Message gopherfan99 beers 2001 º places 190 º 10:12 Sat 4/9/2016 I lived in Croatia for 2.5 years and the scene has really improved since I have been here, which is great. The local craft brewers are putting out some really good product and challenging each other. For example, Medvedgrad most likely would not have made their Fakin’ IPA part of their regular line if Zmajska and Nova Runda had not been successful with their IPAs.
Message branko beers 67 º 01:21 Mon 4/11/2016 Finally got a chance to try Nova runda C4. Damn, that is some really good beer. I would say that this is my best Croatian beer.

I would say that this is my best Croatian beer. Is the hop profile on the C4 similar to that of their APA? The description of the latter says "Citra and Cascade" but judging by some of the tasting notes from people, who tried the C4 it sounds like it might as well contain Mosaic and/or Mandarina hops? EDIT: I managed to Google this five seconds after posting. It suggests Citra, Cascade, Centennial and Chinook: http://blog.vecernji.hr/volim-pivu/sto-piti-ovaj-vikend-nova-runda-c4-ipa-hopheadovi-postroj-se-8053 Ah I get the name now .. /slaps forehead

Message branko beers 67 º 07:07 Wed 4/13/2016 Things are moving on the Croatian craft scene. We expect few beers and breweries to come on the market in the next few months. One of them is girl powered brewery from Zadar called Brlog. Their crowdfunding campaign just finished https://foodwinebeersite.wordpress.com/2016/04/13/brlog-closes-their-crowdfunding-campaign/ I’m not very happy with another Blond Ale on the market, but what can you do :)
