Craft beer on tap

A good game deserves a great beer! We pour craft beer from two breweries we work with: Prešovský pivovar in Petrovany near Prešov, and Kregel.

Prešovský pivovar lives by the motto "Fest poctivo zrobené" (properly, honestly made) and brews unpasteurised, unfiltered beer from natural ingredients, from crisp lagers to bold, hoppy IPAs. Kregel is a gypsy brewery that brews mostly at Prešovský pivovar, led by brewmaster Marcel.
