What do the ancient Egyptian and Andean societies have in common with us? Beer brewed by women! Since its beginnings, the process of brewing beer has been considered divinely guided, protected, and a specialty domain of women. It is only in recent times that brewing has become commercialized and a male dominated field. We are going back to the roots of the ancient art of beer making.

We are two women who brew our own beer. Not only for the taste, but for the sheer pleasure of making it.

From our brewing hobby came an idea, and from that idea - Croatia’s first cooperative craft brewery.  The brewery is located in Zadar, the city voted Best European Destination for 2016.

What is craft beer?

Craft beer is a preservative free, unfiltered and unpasteurized beer. Such a beer has higher nutritional and, most people believe, culinary value.  Most of all, craft beer is a product somebody personally stands behind, a product that can only be made when the makers show persistence, hard work, diligence, courage, and friendship. In a word - Brlog!

Blond ale. With four different hops and three malt varieties. Brewed by Maja & Ana!

                                       


Why cooperative?

A cooperative is a way to transform the talents of two women with brewing skills into an inclusive, organic group of people who can construct, program, book-keep, write business plans, and create.

This is how we want to change the world.  Individually we are little, working together in cohesion, we are a force of varied and crafty skills.  If a group of people from Zadar can do it, the world can too.

For us,  beer is much more than just a refreshing drink. It is the process that demands many inputs. We enjoy contributing to development of this small city by the sea. During the summer months, Zadar thrives, but as the weather cools and tourists return to their home countries, Zadar needs its own enterprises to keep it vibrant and strong.

Our mission

To be a cooperative that will enrich the local community in the way we know best - through production.  We are a beer brewery startup. A social enterprise. And we need your support to launch our mission-driven business and take production out of our home and to the next level: commercial capacity.

“The next step in this evolution comes not in the changing of flavors or styles, but the organization behind its creation: behold the grand idea of Cooperative Breweries!”Joshua Nelson


How?

So, what do we offer to you?


Update: The Transformer! We offer to transform your old refrigerator into the beer tap with kegerator.  The best thing you will ever posses in you house. We know from experience! :) Plus, you can keep the keg and take one refill for free.

Draft beer for your party (we bring it to you personally), or simply six pack in a textile bag.... or even learn how to brew yourself - in our brewery!

                                 

If you are thinking to spend a vacation in sweet and cosy apartment, a minute walk from the sea organs and all the best of Zadar, we offer you a real Brlog vacation experience! With the beer included of course. What could go better with exploring rich European culture and beautiful Roman ruins than an ice cold craft brew on a hot Mediterranean day?!
