King's Caffe
A small Rijeka brewery with a big heart
KING'S BREW is the result of many years of passion for beer. Our brewing adventure began in the late 2000s when we realized, while traveling, that the world of beer is much broader than what can be found in Croatia and the region. A special world within the beer universe was shaped by the magical beers of English counties and Belgian monasteries.
Armed with enthusiasm and limited resources, we began brewing our own beer at home. We first opened King's Caffe locations (2013, 2014, and 2022 in Rijeka, 2016 in Malinska, and 2023 in Krk), which allowed us to build a loyal following. In 2017, we offered our beers to these beer enthusiasts, which were brewed for us by our brewing partners (Vizir, Črnomelj).
After investing all available resources and securing additional funding, in the summer of 2018, we launched our own completely new production at the cellar of the 'Brodokomerc' store in Kantrida (a neighborhood in Rijeka). Our learning curve quickly went upwards, and by August 2019, we started delivering the first kegs of our original Rijeka beer. We took full responsibility for all King's Caffe beers in kegs and bottles at the dawn of that year.
In 2022, as a small brewery on the edge of the city, we began a new chapter. After a successful period in the brewery near Brodokomerc, we are excited to announce the closure of that location and the opening of a completely new brewery at the Rijeka train station. Along with the brewery, we are opening a beer tasting space. This newly built space offers us even more opportunities to create innovative and delicious beers. It is the perfect place for beer lovers to explore new flavors and enjoy perfectly balanced aromas.
We continue our passionate story, now in a new environment, bringing the highest quality and unique taste of our beer to the heart of Rijeka.
King's beer
King's Pilsner (German Pilsner) captivates with its combination of dominant floral and spicy hop aromas, perfectly balanced with subtle fruity notes of red berries. Additionally, malt aromas of crackers, bread crust, and sweet dough stand out, creating an irresistible sensation on the palate. The aftertaste features a pleasant moderate bitterness, while the overall drinking experience is smooth, soft, and refreshing. Moreover, our pilsner is adorned with a beautiful, thick, creamy foam that lingers on top of the glass, while its white-gold color further enhances the aesthetic pleasure.
King's SIPA (Session IPA) offers an explosion of fruity aromas of orange, mango, and white guava, which perfectly complement the subtle hop notes of pine, resin, and stone fruit. It will also charm you with sweet aromas of cookies and biscuits, further enriching the experience of this beer delight. Despite its light body, the noticeable bitterness adds depth to the flavor, while its dry and gently orange hue makes it a visually appealing and desirable choice.
King's Stout (Irish Stout) mesmerizes with its rich aromas of roasted coffee, milk chocolate, and toasted bread, intertwined with mild earthy hop notes. The taste resembles that of an Americano coffee and toasted bread, with subtle hints of dark chocolate contributing to a medium-bitter experience. Its exceptionally creamy body with a silky texture and dense beige foam make every sip of this stout an irresistible experience for your palate.
