In the last month, I devoted most of my online time to following politics, because of the parliamentary elections in Serbia, where, with the joint forces of the citizens and the student movement, and without a single moment of violence, a change of government took place.
In that month, it's not that I didn't drink beer at all, although the last time I wrote about beer was exactly one month ago.
I took advantage of the walk around Avala, when I saw that a manifestation of local brandy and beer producers was planned, to visit the stands on the plateau below the Avala tower.
I thought I would enjoy the beer tasting outdoors, however, the cold and gloomy autumn day was not "just right" for refreshing with a cold beer.
Honestly, I would prefer mulled wine 馃檪
That's probably what everyone else who didn't show up at this outdoor bazaar thought. I felt sorry for the musician who played on the stage in front of the empty stage.
But when I had already climbed up to the plateau of the Avala tower, I looked at the brewery's offer and a stand with an interesting, provocative name "Pivzdarija" caught my attention, which is a pun on the word Pizdarija, which depicts some trouble, a big problem or some prank, for example: bullshit or clusterfuck, but with an additional letter (v), which is associated with beer.
Since it was very cold, I decided to take only one draft IPA beer, which I will somehow drink while visiting the other stands.
And for the tasting at home, in a warmer environment, I took two cans, one "Kurc拧lus", NE IPA and the other seasonal IPA, "Opipavanje".
I chose these two not only because of the interesting name, but because both beers are IPA style, and since I liked this IPA that I drank from the tap, I wanted to taste another one.
On this occasion, I wouldn't go into detail about the beer I drank at this bazaar, because I didn't like it too much due to the cold weather, but my next report, when I open these two cans, will certainly be more detailed.
I can only say that I really liked it, beautiful aromas and taste, and the color is like some thick fruit juice.
And since Pivzdaria is a brewery from Belgrade and has a Pub in the city center, I will definitely visit it at some point, and then I will taste more of their beers, because even from the stand at Avala, I can conclude that they produce interesting styles.
Until the next time I hear from the #beer community (hopefully sooner than a month from now), and until we start the #beersaturday challenges again, I greet you with one "Cheers"!
