Triglav Sherpa, a beer brewed by Slovenians on Triglav (2,864 m above sea level), is the highest brewed beer in Europe (the highest brewery in Europe, Bier Vision Monstein in Davos, is located at 1,560 meters above sea level). The beer was brewed by a team of five beer lovers, who brought all the necessary equipment and raw materials for brewing beer to the top of Slovenia's highest mountain on foot.
Five Slovenians brewed beer on Triglav, which is supposed to be the highest brewed beer in Europe. Under the name beer Triglav Sherpa (named in honor of carrying heavy equipment) signed a five-member team Beer writing, namely Andrej Colarič, Davor Mišmaš, Luka Pepelnik, Simon Kostomaj and Matej Pilat. They started their journey on Pokljuka with all the necessary equipment. Everyone dragged along between 12 and 15 kilograms of equipment.
At the cottage on Dolič (2151 m above sea level) at 4 o'clock in the morning (they set off the day before and slept in between) heated the water to 50 degrees Celsius and continued the ascent towards Triglav with it.
