Zagorka

Zagorka is a Bulgarian beer brand from the city of Stara Zagora.

The company was founded in 1902, in the Czech tradition, by a doctor who returned from Prague.

The current brewery was opened in 1958 and since 1994 is owned by Heineken.

[1] The company produces three Bulgarian brands (Zagorka, Ariana and Stolichno) and four licensed brands (Heineken, Birra Moretti, Amstel and Desperados).

The label was originally written in Cyrillic, with a period of overlap in the late 1990s ("Light" having Cyrillic labels and "Special" having Latin ones), and it is currently written mostly in Latin.
