Croatia: Garden Brewery launches Croatia’s first zero-alcohol craft beer

Zagreb-based Garden Brewery has presented Croatia’s first zero-alcohol craft beer, the Croatia Week reported on August 17.

The Garden Brewery’s Double Dry Hopped IPA was created in partnership with alcohol-free craft beer pioneers Coast Beer Co from Scotland.

“Unlike many alcohol-free beers, Double Dry Hopped IPA features huge amounts of classic hops (Citra, Simcoe and Mosaic) for the perfect balance of flavour and drinkability; with the juicy flavour and aroma we love so much,” The Garden Brewery said.

“It’s hazy, hoppy and refreshing – and at 0.0% ABV, endlessly sessionable.”

Late last year, The Garden Brewery was named the best brewery in the EU for the second year in a row by beer club Beer52.

Since opening around five years ago, The Garden Brewery has been spreading the story of Croatian craft brewing all over the world, recently adding China to the list of countries to which it exports.

In addition to exporting to the UK, France, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg, Australia New Zealand, Estonia, Macedonia, and Bulgaria, they are present in Malaysia, Ireland, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, Malta, Greece, and the United Arab Emirates.

The new non-alcoholic Double Dry Hopped IPA is available on the brewery’s webshop.
