Taste Slovenia in Maribor in ways guidebooks can’t show you.
A Pint of Surprise
Imagine walking down a cobblestone street, where centuries-old facades whisper tales of the past, and you’re suddenly enveloped in the warm aroma of hops and malt. This isn’t your typical tourist pub crawl—this is Maribor’s Beer Lover’s Paradise, a journey led by the patrons of hop themselves in the heart of Slovenia. Here, the city’s history is as rich and complex as the craft beers you’ll savor, each sip a story of its own.
Beyond the Tap
From lagers to stouts, each beer sampled at the city’s iconic ‘Beer Fountain’—homegrown and tapped with effortless precision—has a tale as unique as the land it springs from. While sampling at the QuickTap, a Slovenian invention that feels as innovative as it does charming, you’ll delight in flavors that make the typical hotel bar taste like a forgotten afterthought. The best part? These brews are savored without the tourist rush—it’s just you, the locals, and a new acquaintance with Slovenian ale.
