Beer Can Be Different As Well
You might wonder what beer has to do with a region famed for its ancient winemaking tradition. Quite a lot, actually. The winemaking tradition gave shape to an exquisite cellaring culture, sophisticated procedures of wine production and wine-ageing at all stages, including bottling, tasting and even wine and food matching. Premium local wines that are ubiquitous in the Vipava Valley also gave rise to a high culture of drinking. The locals sure know how to choose their wine.
Craft breweries that mushroomed in the Vipava Valley in recent years are steeped in this tradition. Craft breweries make sure to pick the finest ingredients in order to create top quality beer, whilst playing with new flavours.
Now you see why the beer from the Vipava Valley is so unique and why it truly earns your attention.
