Production process

Production process of Zaječarsko light beer: The basic raw materials used in the brewing process are barley, hops, water and yeast. Barley is the main raw material for beer production. Hops are responsible for the bitter taste and serve to balance the sweet taste of beer. Water used for the production process in Zaječar is completely natural and chemically untreated. Yeast is responsible for obtaining the final taste and aroma of beer. The production process consists of four main phases:

  • Mashing (mixing the milled malt with water). Managing the process is done by highly automated equipment, given recipe has to be strictly applied as a prerequisite for obtaining high-quality beer.
  • Fermentation and aging – At this stage, the beer gets important sensory and organoleptic properties (taste, aroma, pungency).
  • Filtration – technological operation of separation of the smallest particles from beer and achieving crystal clarity.
  • Bottling
  • The production process of Zajecarsko low pasteurized beer

    The production process is the same as for Zaječarsko light beer, i.e. classical beer. The only difference comes from the degree of pasteurization, which means that due to lower temperatures of pasteurization, a beer has greater freshness.
