Kamenitza is one of the top-selling Bulgarian beer companies. In 1881 three Swiss entrepreneurs built a brewery in Plovdiv on a hill called Kamenitza and used the name as their brand. The drink of choice for most Bulgarians at the time was lager, but Kamenitza broke new ground by producing the first dark beer for the market. By the 1890s they won awards at international exhibitions, including Brussels and Chicago
 
Kamenitza, Bulgaria's leading core pilsner, is an easy to drink, thirst-quenching beer, with a slightly bitter and tart taste. Kamenitza (4.4% ABV) gains its characteristic flavor from the use of crystal-clear water, high quality malted barley and the finest hops. It should be served cold at 3°C.
