Welcome!
A stone’s throw from Podčetrtek near
the Terme Olimia spa, there is a hill called Olimska gora. At the foot of the
hill, there is a valley and in that valley is a small town called Olimje. Our
homestead is located in this wonderful and pleasant environment. The Haler
homestead is approximately 3km away from the renowned Terme Olimia spa and 1km
from the famous Olimje monastery.
Haler Homestead History
The history of the homestead reaches
back to 1995, when the owner, Martin Hohnjac, a beer lover, decided to help
with the development of Podčetrtek and thus in autumn 1995 poured himself the
first lager of Haler beer. Martin is from a working farm family commonly called
Haler family, which was also the starting point of the Haler beer trade mark.
In 1996, he and his wife opened a brewery and a restaurant Haler that expanded
and developed trough years. A year later they built rooms and apartments
“Katja” above the restaurant near the forest.

renovated restaurant also offers a wide choice of meals. We also offer

We try to take care of the
environment, so a year ago, we switched to the wood biomass heating (wood
chips) and through the summer we heat water with solar panels.

for various types of beer.

· We have our own brewery where we brew light and dark beer.
Naturally leavened Haler beer is brewed according to the German - old castle
recipe. Our beer is natural and has no added preservatives. We offer draught
beer or you can also take it to-go in two-liter bottles, 1.5 liter plastic bottle
or a 6-pack (6 x 0.5 liter
of beer in a carton). You can also reserve a brewery
tour with tasting.
We have 4 different tastes of beer: light, dark, blended
beer and radler lime.
A light beer is a barley beer; a dark beer has an addition
of caramel and is thus sweeter.
They say that women prefer the taste of dark beer, and
radler lime is good for warmer days, because it is refreshing and has less
alcohol content.
Primary and initial activity of the
homestead was brewing beer. We started brewing beer in 1995. Martin Hohnjec is
a beer lover and at first brewing beer was his hobby. Later he opened a
restaurant, where they market their Haler beer trade mark.
In the mini-brewery they brew light
and dark beer. Naturally leavened Haler beer is brewed according to the German
- old castle recipe. The first brewer acquired his knowledge in Hungary, where
he learned about beer production for about a month. Later he was replaced by the
second brewer, Martin's son-in-law Miran, who is also a huge beer lover. Now,
together with his wife, Katja, they are trying to make something new and this
year they made their own radler lime with less alcohol content.
We offer draught beer or you can take
it to-go in two-liter bottles, 1.5 liter plastic bottle or a 6-pack (6 x 0.5 liter of beer in a
carton).
The basic ingredient for beer
production is beer malt; in our case is this barley malt. Beside beer malt we
also need water, hops and beer yeast. Production itself lasts about 9 hours,
and then the beer has to mature. After one month the beer is ready for tasting.
For production of Haler beer we are
using two sorts of hops:
AURORA SUPER STYRIAN - Slovenian sort, which firstly grew in 1970 (in the former Yugoslavia). It has specific herbal/spicy lemon character. In the past, this sort was known as "Super Styrian". Aurora has an intensive and pleasant hop aroma and a good organoleptic assessment.

STYRIAN GOLDING
- Styrian Golding is quite a aromatic sort of hops with mild or precious hop
aroma and has a very good organoleptic assessment for bitters, taste and aroma.
If you are interested in more detailed
brewing process and you want to visit our little brewery then ask for a tour
with a beer tasting, where the boss or the brewer will take you trough the
brewery.
