Discussion Balkan beer

I'm living in Russia and yesterday I tested beer named Banjalučko. This is the beer from Bosnia and Herzegovina, brewed in Banja - Luka. It's tastes not great, but with food, especially meat, tastes better. Did you heard about another Balkan beer and if it's true, which brewery you recommends and what happened with craft in Balkan countries?

I like The Garden Brewery.

Sarajevsko is my favorite. I spent two weeks there and tried many. They are all similar - slightly hoppy but not too much. Really satisfying and cheap to boot.

For craft beer, I really liked Pivovarna Pelicon in Slovenia and Brlog Pivovara in Croatia

My wife is Bosnian/ Croatian

Out to dinner we found Jelen here in the States, and it was surprisingly good.
