Beer report - Ljubljana

Nov 11, 2004 5 Replies

Stumbled on Ljubljana's only micro-brewery yesterday - Kratochwill, in an arcade opposite station. It's a restaurant but brews (somewhere - saw no brewing kit)) a great Czech style lager and some dark and wheat beers as well. Sadly they had no bottled beers for me to take home.

Yes - my wife and I were looking for somewhere for lunch. There was no clue it had its own beer. I asked for a beer and got a fantastic pint - i asked if it was brewed in Ljubljana, and the waiter just looked at me as if I was mad. It was only later in the tourist office I discovered it was a brew-place.

Off to Milan tomorrow - any brew pubs there?

Indeed, the Birrificio Lambrate is worth a visit. Nice range, from the Kölsch-like Montestella to their celebrated Ghisa smoked porter... and there's pretty nice food too !

In the "not brewing, but nice pints anyway" category, do not miss the Mulligans

which has cask ale on, usually fridays and saturdays. Decent bottle range, includng Cassissona and Bibock from Birrificio Italiano, and Isaac from Le Baladin. Excellent home-baked food. Closed on sundays.

If you're looking for some bottles to bring home, don't miss the A Tutta Birra Shop

on a street a few hundred yards south of the Milano Centrale Station. Tiny place, with a scary range of about 500 references, in about 30 square metres of shop. :o) They stock some beers from italian micros, such as Lambrate, Baladin etc. Knowledgeable staff, too, which does not hurt. :o)

Cheers !
