Beer and food pairing events come to Istria.
Is Pula pulling into the lead on the Croatian beer scene? The Pula Beer Club has organized the first (at least as known to us so far) beer and food pairing evening in Istria.
The evening, starting at 8pm on December 30th, 2015, will feature five food courses from Chef Deniz Zembo, matched with beers chosen by Marko Ožegović. Looking at the list, this promises to be a most interesting and enlightening event.

Sour - Chef's surprise appetiser
