It makes sense to start my posts on Macedonia with Skopsko.
The beer is the dominant player with (according to wiki) a 64% market share in
the country. It is brewed in the capital at Pivara Skopje which became part of
the Heineken group in the 1990s. As with most of the forthcoming posts it’s a ‘svetlo
pivo’, a light beer, or to you and me, a fairly crappy European lager (I don’t
really know how I’m going to find enough to stay about most of these beers as
they all taste more or less the same to me!) Skopsko is served pretty much
everywhere in Macedonia, I found it quite bitter in taste for a light lager and
therefore not quite so quaffable/inoffensive as most beers of this style. It
was okay but, where possible, I went for an alternative option.Brewery: Pivara Skopje
County: FYR of Macedonia
ABV: 4.9%
