Cheers beer lovers!

Because I am a thoughtful woman of generous nature I thought I should do some research in Croatia.

And by research I mean beer tasting.

I trawled the supermarket aisles looking for bottles I could sample and report back on and came up with three. I know; not the most successful mission but I was throwing anything low alcohol. (Don't worry, i was doubling up in the interests of English drinking style - we have a reputation to maintain after all).

So, in reverse order we have Deana24's guide to beer from Croatian holiday 2008.

At No 3: Karlovacko. Made in Croatia. Oddly non-fizzy, light beer with a pleasant malt-sweet after taste.

At No2: Laska. Made in Slovenia. Similar to No3 but with more taste. Nice.

At No1: Laska Club. Also made in Slovenia. Yum-meee. Nice viscosity. Malty, full flavoured and lovely after dinner with a sack full of crisps (ahem!).

No1 is pronounced Lash-ka if you are ever in the vicinity of Slovenia/Croatia and fancy a livener. It's got one of those little flattened u-things on top of the s. (But I can't find on my keyboard).

Pah, I want to go back!

Hurrah! Good trip, then?

We need another night out, methinks :)

Deffo!
Distracting myself from the horrors of life non-holiday life is the only way I am going to survive.

Oh bloody hell I can't read my own drunken scrawl - please note it's called Lasko, not Laska!

Now I know this is going to make me sound like a total girl, but because I was driven everywhere I'm a bit vague. It was a very queenie holiday, I just opened the door of the land cruiser and got out.

In the north, on the coast, about 3km from a little place called Novigrad (which means new town) is my best stab at it. It's about an hour and a half's drive from Ljubljana.

seems to suggest its fame travels. You can definitely buy it via the internet.

Sounds like my sort of holiday :-)

I once paid for a luxury" holiday in Amsterdam which was surprisingly cheap, was expecting nothing, and then got picked up by a Limousine at Schiphol Airport! Grin from ear to ear.

Oh, I've never been in a limo. Swish.

I wasn't even expecting it. There was a bloke there with my name on a board and flat hat on, the lot. Very nice. I still don't know why it was so cheap...

Tom.
