Beer of the day #3 - Kamenitza Bulgaria
Combining two of favorite topics! Bulgaria is my second home as I wrote earlier here. Beer is a topic I also handled on steemit already. My next Beer of the day is by Kamenitza, a brewery based in Plovdiv offering several brands. Every year I enjoy the 2.5 Litre bottles in Burgas.
The history of beer in Bulgaria dates back to the 19th century introduced probably by visitors from Bavaria. Since then, the production and the consumption of beer in Bulgaria developed rapidly. Today, Bulgaria takes the 25th place by beer consumption in the world, with around 60 liters per person per year.
Most of the local breweries in Bulgaria are now owned by foreign companies like Carlsberg, Heineken and StarBev, Kamenitza is one of the them owned by Canadian brand Molson Coors - the soccer fans might be interested to hear the company (Kamenitza) is sponsor of the Bulgaria national football team.
Generally, there are two types of beer produced in Bulgaria – light beer (lager) and dark beer. The standard light lager is the most widely consumed beer, especially in the summer, due to its pleasant bitterness and refreshing qualities.
Na zdrave! Prost! Cheers! Salute! Salud! Santé!

Ich komme ja aus Chemnitz, das ist Slawisch und heißt soviel wie Steinbach. Kann man Kamenitza nicht ebenso übersetzen?
ich hab keine Ahnung ob man Kamenitza übersetzen kann, ist der Names des Berges auf dem die Brauerei 1881 errichtet wurde (von 3 Schweizern damals......) @beers

I love trying different beers. At one time I brewed my own but it's been a while.

wow, that sounds great,a buddy of work also is doing this often at home, bathroom is now a brewery :-)
I like the idea of him brewing but perhaps a different location would work better! :)
