Quality and tradition

Since 1860

Traditional method

Our beers are made through slow fermentation and maturation under carefully controlled production conditions. Classic brewing techniques and natural ingredients preserve the authentic character of lager beer.

  • Spring water

    Water is the basic raw material in brewing and has a major influence on the taste of beer. Valjevska pivara uses water from springs in the Valjevo region, whose purity and mineral composition contribute to the quality of our lager. It is part of the identity of our beers and connects them with the region they come from.

  • Our yeast

    Yeast plays a key role in brewing: it converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide and shapes aroma and flavor. What sets Valjevska pivara apart is its own yeast culture, maintained for more than 50 years and an important part of its brewing identity.

The beginning of a tradition

The brewery in Valjevo was founded by Valjevo merchant Dimitrije Mitrović. It was established in 1860 as a craft workshop producing wooden barrels. Over time it expanded and developed thanks to investments by other merchants and partners, laying the foundations of a tradition that has lasted for more than a century and a half.
