Kampanjola
Last but not least we have to mention our personal beer highlight - Kampanjola from Svetvinčenat. The first Croatian eco beer that even non-beer drinkers will enjoy. The key ingredients of beer are frequently treated with pesticides. The ultimate goal of Kampanjola is to grow their own ingredients for their beer production. They offer four different types of beer, but the most impressive one is "Kampanjola z mora". This unfiltered beer aged 40 meters under the sea for 8 months. And the bottle itself is a highlight - if you need a special gift for someone, this will bring the wow effect. On their website they have a webshop, but they ship only within Croatia at the moment of writing.
