Pivo!! We love Beers!



Oh yes. Croatians love beers too. It's not restricted to just Polish or English you know. Whenever you pop into a caffee bar, you'll sure to find a type of beer on the tap.

Sadly, Croatian beers are not good enough to earn themselves any world fame or markets beyond the region. But I do love the crisp and light Croatian beers.

What beers your will find in a typical caffee bar? On taps, Tuborg, Stella Artois, Budweiser (Czech) are the most common. In bottles, the Croatian favourites: Ožujsko, Laško are among the few.

When ordering beers in a caffee bar in Croatia from the tap, you'll have to use deciliter. For example, 5 dl = 0,5 l or 2 dl = 0,2 l.

And bravo! You can even get 1l of Croatian beers in plastic bottles for 1 pound! Cheap hur? The next size is 1.5l bottle. That's really neat. Though don't forget to keep your bottles (plastic or glass). You can always recycle them by selling them back to supermarkets for 50 lipa (5 pence) each.

That's all for beers! Cheers and živelj!

Hi Sher,

How's the love nest? Have you repainted or redecorated yet? Post some photos of how it's going, and maybe we can make suggestions.

That would be fun, seeing how it develops. Make it soon! :-)--Durano, done!

hi Durano.
Our place is not exactly a love nest. Just a rented house for us. When we can purchase our own place, then we'll decorate it. For now, anything is fine!
