When talking about Istrian wines, many immediately think of Malvasia or Teran. But for more than a decade, Istria has also had its brewing star – San Servolo, the first Istrian craft brewery founded in Buje.
The idea of San Servolo was born from the desire to offer Istria a beer just as authentic and high-quality as its wines and olive oils. Only the best barley malt, aromatic hop varieties, and spring water from Buje are used in production, giving their beers special freshness and a distinctive taste.
Today, San Servolo offers several styles:
- San Servolo Lager – light and easy to drink, ideal for every day.
- Red Ale – a red beer with rich caramel flavor and pleasant bitterness.
- Dark Lager – dark beer with notes of coffee and roasted malt.
- IPA – aromatic, hoppy beer for true craft lovers.
- Special seasonal editions and limited series developed year after year with great passion.
San Servolo is not just beer – it is a story of Istrian terroir, tradition, and love for excellent taste. Today, their beers are present throughout Croatia and beyond, valued by beer lovers for their quality, consistency, and clear identity.
If you want to taste a beer that carries the mark of Istrian authenticity, San Servolo is the right choice. 🍻
