Specification

It is made from natural ingredients – barley, yeast, hops and water. Ožujsko has a golden color. It was named after the month of March (Croatian: ožujak), when traditionally the best beer is made. With developments in production this seasonality is no longer important for the quality of Ožujsko pivo and now it can be brewed all year round.[2][3] It is also described as "a golden lager, with a deep white head. A sweet corn and malt nose gives to a fruity finish"[4]

History

Ožujsko beer is one of the oldest brands with uninterrupted continuity of production in Croatia. It was first produced in 1892.

Sales and sponsors

Ožujsko is the leading beer brand in terms of sales in Croatia, with a market share of approximately 40%. For the last 15 years, Ožujsko is the official sponsor of the Croatian national football team.
