The beer is named after our hometown Ajdovščina. If you use a little imagination and think about how you would explain to a foreigner where we come from? Yes, from Out-of-China, logically!

The purpose of this beer was very simple. We wanted a simple and light brew that would appeal to non-typical beer drinkers and even entice the traditionalist among the beer lovers. After all these years, Out of China is becoming a modern craft classic that even the most demanding beer lover will enjoy.

It is a red beer with a charming bouquet of hop notes from Slovenian hops. Among them are three varieties of aromatic hops, which we have only recently started growing in Slovenia. The red color is given by a combination of different malts, which also bring the taste and aroma of bread and caramel. Oat flakes help the light brew to have a full, silky body and a more persistent head, as it would otherwise be too watery with a modest 4.5% alcohol.

What does it mean if beers are top or bottom fermented?

Top fermentation is most often associated with ale-type beers. It is a method of alcoholic fermentation that occurs in beer when active yeasts rise to the surface of the wort and form a crown (a kind of yeast foam) on it. The yeast is predominantly Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, which is colloquially called ale yeast. Such yeasts prefer higher fermentation temperatures, approximately 15 to 25 degrees.

The opposite is true for bottom-fermenting yeasts, which are associated with lager-type beers. This fermentation takes place at the bottom of the container. It is predominantly Saccharomyces Pastorianus yeast, or lager yeast. Such yeasts prefer lower fermentation temperatures, around 5 to 10 degrees.
