Description & Information:
The Sarajevo Brewery was founded in 1864 and it is believed to be the first industrial production in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The first beer in Sarajevo was best described in an article in the Yugoslav Journal in 1930 titled „How the First Production of Beer Began in Sarajevo in 1864.“

“… The first pouring of beer was very festive. In a shady plume orchard in the valley overlooking the Brewery, on carpets spread around a round sofra (traditionally a low table or tray used as a dining table) covered with assorted refection, pillows and mats were placed for high guests, and, beside a creek, at the edge of the plum orchard, fattened lambs were being turned on a spit. In a long line of carriages, guests were arriving: Governor Sherif Osman Pasha, with military and civilian entourage, foreign consuls with their secretaries and the most honoured citizens of all faiths.
