Pivara Tuzla
Tuzla brewery (Pivara Tuzla) was founded in 1884 under the name Erste Dampf Brauarei (The first steam brewery) Dolnja Tuzla, by Tasing and Köhn, who brought a beer brewing technique with Czech recipe, known as pilsner. With the arrival of the Austrougars in the Tuzla area, the opportunity for expanding industrial capacities is being used, and this extraordinary facility is being built and which has been operating in the same place since 1884 when it was founded and it is among the 3 oldest breweries in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Over the years of its existence, it has changed its owners several times, but the tradition and the recipe for beer production has remained the same. The brewery has a respectable brand, and one of the longest in brewing, named Tuzlanski pilsner. With this tradition of beer production and natural Stupar water obtained from the Konjuh mountain, and water supply system built in the same period, Tuzla beer has retained the same quality from the very beginning.
Throughout history, many types of beer were produced in Tuzla Brewery: Black, Torg, Winter, Yellow, Rudarski dukat and Tuzlanski pilsner, and today is one of the few breweries outside the Czech Republic that produces beer according to the traditional Czech recipe of pilsener. Tuzla Brewery also owns a line of supplementary product programs installed at the end of the nineties, which is used for the production of soft drinks and mineral water in PET bottles and cans. All products are produced under a strict quality control regime, using new technologies for the prevention of harmful effects on the environment, as well as quality assurance measures for their products that guarantee the application of applicable standards, legal requirements and basic principles of the HACCP system and environmental management requirements.

TUZLANSKI PILSNER Tuzlanski pilsner is the oldest brand of Tuzla Brewery, produced in a very demanding and old recipe, in a completely natural way. This characteristic must be especially emphasized as many present breweries, especially those owned by large corporations, produce beer that is not nearly as close to traditional and natural. Pilsener is a type of beer that requires higher amounts of raw materials and longer aging. Also, in the brew world, there is a claim that all lager beer are actually only a pale copy of the pilsener, and it says everything about pilsener as a kind of beer. Tuzlanski pilsner is a lightly laid beer made from high quality raw materials according to the traditional low-boiling process, which gives it the full taste of "lager" beer, pleasant bitterness, stable foam, pleasant smell and light yellow color. The beer is recognizable by its driedness, with a CO₂ content up to 5.2 g / l, with an ideal content of the extract of 11.2 ° B, and alcohol 4.7%.
ERSTER BEER The exceptional type of light beer is made from quality raw materials, low boiling technology with extract content of 10.2 ° B. With alcohol content up to 4.3%. Erster beer is recognized by its taste and drinkable content with CO² content up to 4.3gr / l. and was obtained using the traditional German beer production technology and it contains an appropriate nutritional value, as well as the presence of vitamins. Erster beer is a typical German "golden lager", with characteristic of golden yellow color. It has a well-balanced fullness of taste with a more pronounced malleable accent. It is a German variant of the Czech Pils characteristic of Bavaria and Munich and in contrast with Pils, has a fuller taste, more pronounced malnutrition and bitterness.
PREMIUM CRNO PIVO The Dark Beer Recipe is very demanding and requires its production to use fully natural and carefully selected hop raw materials and with even three types of malt barley that give it a distinctive natural color and taste. This beer is a real refreshment for the quality drinks connoisseur, and the prefix Premium is added with reason. Dark beer is known for being consumed by true beer lovers who need the daily consumption of the best that can be obtained. Premium Crno pivo (beer) is part of a special lager beer, and it is characterized by a unique sweet taste and strong bitterness with an alcohol content of 4.7%.
PREMIUM RADLER LEMON Premium Radler was begun to produce according to special market demands, with great and good cooperation with eminent distributors from Germany who hold 70% of the radler market. This beer was made with excellent Stupar water from Konjuh mountain which makes our top quality beer. The entire production is regularly controlled in the modern equipped laboratories of the Tuzla Brewery. All of these characteristics have been identified by consumers themselves, which can be seen by sale results.
TUZLANSKI KISELJAK Tuzlanski kiseljak is a natural mineral water rich in magnesium and other minerals (zinc, calcium, potassium) and microelements (copper, zinc, strontium, molybdenum, vanadium, selenium). Even if we have those artificial compensation in tablets, the most favorable way of magnesium use is the daily consumption of mineral water rich in hydrocarbons. How important is the magnesium composition in our mineral water, the moderate amount of sodium (Na) and the absence of sulphate or "bitter salt" known as a strong purgative is very important, which gives the Tuzlanski kiseljak good drip. This feature also contributes to the fact that mixing Tuzlanski kiseljak with wine is not so good as mixing with fruit juices. It is necessary to emphasize that Tuzlanski kiseljak is a mineral water that is located on the world top according to its content of natural magnesium (www.mineralwaters.org), and it is also unique in the world because of its hydrocarbon form.
