Zagreb is gearing up to host the 12th Croatian Homebrew Championship on Saturday, 7 June 2025, organized by the Pivari Grada Zagreba association at Zmajska Pivovara. This event stands as a testament to the vibrant homebrewing culture in the region, drawing enthusiasts and participants from far and wide.
With over 80 unique homebrewed and craft beers available for sampling, attendees can look forward to a diverse range of flavors and brewing styles from both Croatia and abroad. Tickets for the event are currently on sale, offering a day filled with beer exploration and community engagement.
The return of Zagi, the beloved mascot of the 1987 Summer Universiade in Zagreb, adds a nostalgic touch to this year’s championship. The event symbolizes the convergence of global talent and enthusiasm for brewing, mirroring the spirit of unity and excellence seen in international sporting events.
Aside from the beer-centric activities, festivalgoers can indulge in a variety of food options provided by Pivnica Mlinarica and beer-friendly snacks from Dr. Pigley. The event’s entertainment lineup includes live DJ sets, beer games like beer pong, and a beer-themed quiz to engage attendees throughout the day.
For those interested in delving deeper into the world of brewing, the festival offers the opportunity to explore resources like the book “In the Beginning, There Was Beer” by Dalibor Antunović. Additionally, the highlight of the day is the awards ceremony, where the best homebrewers will be recognized, culminating in the prestigious Best of Show (BOS) title.
Homebrewers have a chance to participate in the festival by donating a keg of their beer, earning free entry, a festival T-shirt, and a meal in return. Those with BJCP beer judging certification can apply to be a judge, securing a spot at the event and contributing to the evaluation process.
As the Croatian Homebrew Championship continues to grow in popularity and significance, it serves as a platform for showcasing the talent and passion within the brewing community.
