Pivovarna Pelicon

We are an independent microbrewery and operate in the heart of the Vipava Valley, in Ajdovščina.

After a year of careful preparation and experimentation, we launched our first brew, Pally Pale Ale, in November 2013. The 3rd Pill IPA followed shortly after, winning two silver medals a year later and being named the best Slovenian beer on RateBeer.com. Since then, our beer list has been steadily growing, with each new recipe combining precision, innovation and an unwavering commitment to quality.

Our craftsmanship is recognized by both domestic and foreign beer lovers. We became the best Slovenian brewery of the year according to the brewers' choice (2014) and won awards at international competitions - from the silver medal for Coffee Stout at the World Czech Competition (2017) to the award for Black Aurora, which became the best beer at the Brewing Conference in Budapest (2019). In Athens (2022), we convinced the esteemed judges and earned no fewer than five awards. According to the Untappd portal, Walter W. and Quantum have been the best in the wheat and imperial IPA styles category for several years in a row. In 2025, we also managed to ensure that Superlager, a Slovenian pilsner, won a silver medal after less than a year, in a diverse competition of lagers, and narrowly missed out on gold!

With the help of a warm and persistent team, we also received the Golden Sign of the Municipality of Ajdovščina for our contribution to Slovenian brewing and the title of Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2017.
