PIVARA SKOPJE PRESENTS SKOPSKO WEISS – THE FIRST MACEDONIAN WHEAT BEER

Pivara Skopje has introduced the first wheat beer created in Macedonia – Skopsko Weiss. With this innovation, Pivara Skopje, the market leader in beer and non-alcoholic beverages, reaffirms its dedication to innovation and quality, enriching the domestic portfolio with a premium beer of distinctive taste and unmistakable Macedonian character.

Skopsko Weiss is crafted from a carefully selected blend of high-quality wheat and barley malt, enriched with noble hops and subtle fruity notes characteristic of this beer style. It is defined by its bright golden color and rich, creamy foam, while its flavor is delicately balanced, with a gentle sweetness, light acidity, and a barely perceptible bitterness. Thanks to premium ingredients and an innovative brewing process, every sip delivers a sense of ease and refreshment, making it the perfect choice for any occasion.

“With Skopsko Weiss, we are opening a new chapter in the development of beer culture in Macedonia. This is not just a new product, it is an expression of our vision to follow global trends while staying true to the local spirit. We want to offer consumers a beer that brings freshness, authenticity, and modernity, created with craftsmanship and passion. We believe Skopsko Weiss will become a symbol of new flavors, new moments, and new ways of enjoying beer, which is why we are proud that it comes from Pivara Skopje, uniting tradition and innovation,” said Ognjen Lazić, General Manager of Pivara Skopje.

The creation of the country’s first industrially produced wheat beer is the result of dedication and expertise, emphasized Aleksandar Bojadžiski, Beer Production Director at Pivara Skopje.

“For us at Pivara Skopje, this beer symbolizes our commitment to quality, our drive for innovation, and our mission to offer consumers not only what they already love, but also something new to fall in love with. Alongside our traditional lagers, we wanted to create a beer that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the world’s great wheat beers, while carrying the authenticity and quality that Skopsko represents. Developing Skopsko Weiss was a journey of learning and passion. Our brewmasters invested great effort to find the perfect balance, ensuring that each sip delivers quality worthy of Skopsko, while opening the door to a new world of flavors. I am personally very proud of what we have achieved together,” said Bojadžiski.

“Skopsko Weiss was created in response to the growing demand from consumers for authentic flavors and local character. At a time when the country’s beer scene is expanding, we felt a genuine need to offer a product that unites tradition and craftsmanship with the fresh energy of new generations. This beer is intended for both experienced beer lovers, and those who view beer as a ritual and enjoy the richness of the category, and for young adult consumers seeking novelty, something that opens a new perspective and allows them to be part of the trends. With this beer, we are not only enriching the market with a new choice, but also actively contributing to the development of beer culture in Macedonia, motivating people to explore, taste, and enjoy beer in a new way,” said Marta Zafkova, Beer Marketing Manager at Pivara Skopje.

Skopsko Weiss will be available in 0.5l bottles and cans, as well as on draft in numerous restaurants and bars across the country.
