Craft beer in Slovenia: Reset brews quality beers in Brežice

Published: July 11, 2025

From the border of Italy, our craft beer tour in Slovenia continued to eastern Slovenia. Near to the Croatian border, in the beautiful Lower Sava Valley, we headed to the small town of Brežice. This cute, old town is home to the young and innovative Reset Brewery, and their excellent taproom restaurant. In this article, we introduce this growing brewery that entered the market in 2020.

Reset Brewery started operations in early 2020, and made their first beers as gypsy brewers, in Zmajska Brewery in Croatia. They brought the first batches of beer into the country in early spring, right before the Covid-19 hit. The timing clearly was not perfect, but during the spring 2020 lockdowns, the Reset team built an own, super modern brewery and taproom in Brežice. The name of the brewery means starting over, referring to the fact that the brew master Samo and sales director Jure had previously run a small-scale brewery, and sort of decided to start over when Reset was established.

“We believe that everyone deserves a reset now and then. As a young brewery, established in 2020, our goal is to craft refreshing, sophisticated beers—both hoppy and subtly balanced—with drinkability at the forefront of every sip.”

Reset crew does not compromise when it comes to beer quality; they emphasize that the quality of raw products, the optimization of the processes, as well as overall tidiness and cleanliness, are all important factors that affect the taste of the produced beer. The brewing equipment were tailored to meet the high standards, and the brewing crew takes care to handle every little detail in the production precisely, to achieve the desired end product.

Reset artisan beers are brewed with a 2000-liter, Chinese-made brewhouse. At the time of our visit in autumn 2024, they brewed two batches in a row, roughly 2 000 hectoliters a year. As more fermenting vessels were assembled in 2024, there is now capacity to increase the annual production volume.

The goal of the brewery is to brew refreshing, sophisticated and highly drinkable beers, using high-quality raw products and following the highest standards. Reset utilizes a lot of Slovenian hop varieties, and for the most hop-forward beers a wide variety of international hop products. The malts come from Germany and the UK.

The core beer series includes easy and enjoyable Ales from Blonde Ale to IPAs and to an Irish Extra Stout. The best seller beer is Lagerish, a light and fresh, very lager-like Cream Ale. Of the beers that we tasted, our favorites were Nook, a juicy, tropical NEIPA, Froggy, a balanced, moderately bitter, citric American IPA and Alter Ego, a heavily hopped West-Coast-style DDH Double IPA (jump from the links to beer cards with more info and tasting notes!). The label designs in our pics are from 2024, but in 2025 you can find these artisan beers with renewed look!

Most of the Reset’s production is sold in the capital city Ljubljana, but also a lot is served in Brežice, in the lovely taproom restaurant right next to the production area. Opened in June 2024, the taproom is a great venue to taste Reset beers, and to combine them with delicious food from Neapolitan pizzas to burgers, ribs, wings and salads!
