October the 16th, 2024 – The Zagreb craft beer scene is booming, with something to suit every single palate from an increasing number of fresh breweries. If you’d asked the majority of people about Zagreb about a decade ago, you’d have been met with one or two responses. The first would have been “Where?” and the second would have been “I’ve landed there/flown from there”. It’s no secret that Zagreb’s potential was unseen. It was one of Europe’s less interesting capitals.
