Karlovacko

This is one of 3 beers I sampled during a trip in and through Croatia in 2018. I’ve posted about the other two here as well.

To be perfectly honest I’m not sure of the style but I suspect it’s a Pils.

A standard beer in Croatia and in neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina, it’s apparently the biggest exporter of beer in Croatia. It’s now owned by Heineken.

It was warm weather when I was in Croatia with my family in 2018, and the 50cl draught Karlos went down very easily. Only 5.4% alcohol so just right for me. Nice colour, good head and very refreshing.

It’s readily available outside Croatia in bottles and cans. worth checking out if you haven’t already.

Ozujsko

The second of the Croatian beers we had on our Croatian trip in 2018.

Said to be the biggest brewery in Croatia but is not so widely available outside the country as Karlovacko - in fact I don’t remember ever seeing it anywhere else.

This is a Pale Lager, 5% alcohol, nice colour and good head; have only had the draught version I have to say, which was, like Karlovacko, very refreshing and nice taste; some say it’s a little on the bitter side, but I didn’t think so.

I mostly had the draught version but was served one in a bottle at a restaurant in Zagreb; don’t remember it suffering in comparison.

Pan Lager

The third of the Croatian beers from the 2018 trip.

Brewery is owned by the Carlsberg group, but this beer is really not known outside Croatia as far as I’ve been able to tell - I’ve never seen it available in beer shops, nor online. Pity, because it’s a damn fine beer, slightly lower alcohol content at 4.8%.

Nice colour and good head. I only have had the draught version so can’t comment on what it’s like from the bottle or can.

I’m sure my son and I were enjoying the Pans at a restaurant in Split, despite appearances….

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
