Nettle beer in a clay mug during Renaissance Fair! What a rush! Almost a time travel. I forgot all about the crypto space for a time.
As I was browsing the offerings around the fair I’ve heard strange rumors about a mysterious brewery that offers a rejuvenating concoction. None that went searching for it returned. Heat was merciless and some lepers tried to tempt me with food but I had a singular purpose and didn’t allow myself to get sidetracked.
After a while the path became clear. And lo and behold, there it was. A small hut that didn’t offer macro beer. Wonderful!
This unusual setting required me to rent a clay mug so the experience could be complete. Kind of cool not to use glass for a change! If they cooked it on site, I couldn’t really tell, but there was a variety of brewing paraphernalia around.

| Style | Porter |
| Country | Zagreb, Croatia |
| Alcohol | 4.8% |
| ----- | --------- |
| Appearance | Brown and murky. Brownish small head. Like a real medieval concoction. |

| Palate | Watery. Low to medium carbonation. Leaves a lasting bitter aftertaste. Almost a sting. It is nettle after all! |
| ----- | --------- |
| Overall | I have mixed feelings on this. Overall mood of the festival can get you carried away. Maybe the development was rushed to suit the occasion. Exclusive 200 liter batch. Would buy more to try in different setting. |
| Score (subjective) | 13/20 |
Price: 19 kn (3.05$) - 0.5 l. On tap at a festival. Mid-range.
