Very few jobs are as difficult as that of the professional beer drinker.
The great Slovenian beer rivalry between Laško and Union recently took a surprise twist when the former bought the latter. Ljubljana-based Union tried to escape by running into the arms of its Belgian lover, but Laško would have none of it, and carried beautiful, innocent Union away like a horny bull.
Now that almost all of Slovenia’s beer are belong to Laško, the rivalry seems a bit pointless. Luckily for me, this site is all about being pointless, which is why I give you:
Ohhh… My Head: ratings for 6,754 beers from 144 countries.
The ratings on the site are carried out by a gang of professional, Swedish beer drinkers. That’s right, professional. What else do you call tasting 40 beers a night? (Don’t say college.) Their rating system goes from 0 (undrinkable) to 5 (excellent). Belgian beers currently dominate the top three spots, and make up half of the top ten. The rasberry-flavored Drie Fonteinen Schaarbeekse Kriek is currently in first place, with absolutely perfect scores.
In the meantime, Slovenian patriots and alcoholics will be disappointed to see that no local beers made it past the "very good" hurdle — and three beers got the dreaded "undrinkable" tag: Union Smile, Laško Bandidos, and Uni Brez Alkohola.
Which brings us back to the original question: what’s the best beer in Slovenia? Laško or Union? According to the Swedes, it’s neither. They picked a beer I’ve never heard of: Adam Ravbar Kvasno Pivo, from Domžale. Has anyone ever tried it? Could it really be the best?
