Drinking beer is one of the most pleasant things to do. With or without friends, in a thematic bar or on a meadow, or maybe on the beach under the sun lights, it doesn’t really matter. The beer lovers are millions all over the world. For many of them degustation is a hobby.
According to statistics for 2016, Bulgarians drink 77 liters of beer a year. In our country, the most popular is the ordinary lager beer which on hot days sometimes replaces water. It is a product of all big factories and it is so common, it’s just boring. The good thing is that in beautiful Plovdiv the number of real beer connoisseurs increases significantly. It is all because of some special places who offer all kinds of craft beer. No doubt the leader is “Cat and Mouse”, situated in the heart of district “Kapana”.
Normally you can order lager beer in every place. Today, lostinplovdiv.com will recommend 3 special bars where you can enjoy true, unique and different ale.
1.”Cat and Mouse” – as we said, the first bar for craft beer in Plovdiv is located in district “Kapana” and is a leader in the business. With its variety of over 150 types Belgian, German, Czech, Spanish, and last but not least - Bulgarian craft beers, "Cat and Mouse" will win you over from the first visit. You can find ale, fruit beers, caramel notes, even beer with pumpkin and lobster on “Hristo Diukmedjiev” 14 st. The place is also popular with its thematic evenings and weeks that are dedicated to new proposals and tempt customers with different flavors. If you love beer but you don’t have the time, you can buy a bottle or two for home where you can enjoy the aromatic foam on your sofa.
2. LOCAL - our favorite craft beer bar Cat and Mouse found its natural extension. The place is called LOCAL and has a slightly different concept – it focuses on local beverage production. The well-known beer from its own brand is already complemented by two more draft flavors and all of them, together with the bottled versions, are brewed at various local brewers. Only in this place you will be able to try specially selected and prepared for the brand wines and rakia. One of the biggest advantages of Cat and Mouse LOCAL is undoubtedly the sheltered yard, nestled between two walls, the outdoor space is the perfect combination of comfort and intimacy with the festive and uplifting atmosphere of Kapana.
3..”Jagerhof“ – in district “Trakia”, away from the Center, but with regular customers is the beer pub “Jagerhof”. The beer is cooked directly on the spot. In the middle of the specially build building you can see the vats in which the cask ale is made. The place reminds a lot of German restaurants, which serve Sausage, along with beer. „Jagerhof“ has also a kitchen, so you can have lunch or dinner with friends.
4.”Beer Pub Stop” - located in the Center, the pub offers a wide variety of bottles and cask ale that you can drink on the spot or take home.
