There is no such thing as FYROM – Only Macedonia.
and yes – Skopsko is the best of Macedonia!

[...] soon and even sooner afterwards I’d placed my order for chilli con carne and a bottle of Skopsko I think I might have over done the super hot habanero sauce judging by the severe burning sensation [...]

I visit FYROM often an usually drink Skopsko, coming from Ireland and the Guinness tradition it really is pleasant to find a good lager. I lived in Gostivar for a year and drank far to much Skopsko but enjoyed it!!!!!!!

Skopsko is the best beer for me. I am from Skopje living in USA. Where can I find Skopsko in the states?
Thanks

I’m an American living in Skopje, and I enjoy Skopsko quite often. It’s very “European-tasting” because the brewery and the original recipe actually come from some immigrant Czech brewers who found their way to Macedonia. It comes in small cans, tall boys, small bottles, .5 liter bottles, and big 1.5 L bottles, and there is a definite drop in taste and quality if you’re drinking from anything aside from the glass bottles (or draught).

For a small country, Macedonia also has a few other beers – Zlaten Dab (Golden Oak, in translation) is much lighter and less hoppy than Skopsko, Krali Marko (King Mark) is average as well, and Gorsko is the cheapest of the cheap – people don’t have it on tap, it’s just sold in plastic bottles at shops. Skopsko is, of course, brewed in Skopje, while Zlaten Dab and Krali Marko are brewed in the southern city of Prilep. Both cities have a beer festival each year.

bryanhollamby.co.ukI am from Macedonia,and i can tell you that SKOPSKO is a real premium beer…face to face with AMSTEL,HEINEKEN,BUDWIESER and other premium beers…In our country,0.33 litres of SKOPSKO is about 1,20 euros…It’s cheap…For example,the AMSTEL is 1,50,the HEINEKEN over 1,50…The taste of SKOPSKO is so good,i can’t describe it,you must taste it first….Very good taste…

-That is correct that Skopsko beewery is not sister company of Heineken Greece….

Wilst traveling, I had a small stay over in Macedonia, specifically, Skopje. The first night I was there I just looking for something I know. Amstel jumped out at me. After some small talk with some of the locals, they recommended Skopsko. I would have to say it’s VERY European tasting…but good. I ended up drinking that for the remainder of my stay. Light, not filling beer…went well with lunch an dinner. I’ve never seen it stateside though. If you get the chance, definatly give it a try, at the least, just to say you did.

I am from England, but my husband is Macedonian. Since coming to live in Macedonia 1 year ago I think Skopsko Beer comes close to being one of the best beers I have tasted in a very long time. You must try it.

Whilst in the military I seved in FYROM and Skopsko was my drink, it is brewed in Skopje the capital and I was fortunate enough to visit the brewery. what a excellent smooth beer. Hope this helps and I will keep an eye open for it in my local store
