Major brands in Bulgaria include Kamenitza and Astika (both owned by Molson Coors), Zagorka (Heinekin), Pirinsko Pivo and Shumensko (both Carlsburg). Most brands in Bulgaria, while being internationally owned, are centred around a particular town or region. For example Zagorka is brewed in Stara Zagora and Kamenitza is from Haskovo.

The country badge for Croatia. Have 5 Croatian beers to earn this one. Of course, it keeps levelling until you reach level 100 after 500 beers.

The market is dominated by two lagers, Ožujsko (owned by Molson Coors) and Karlovačko (Heineken), however craft breweries are beginning to flourish. In particular, look out for The Garden Brewery from Zagreb who are excellent.

Croatian beers also count towards the Balkans regional badge, so you really get some bang for your buck here!
