Shumensko is a Bulgarian beer brand (Bulgarian: Шуменско пиво) from the town of Shumen.[1]
The brewery was founded in 1882 by merchants from Shumen and the Czech master brewer Franz Milde, who arrived in September and founded the Bulgarian Brewing Association (Българско пивоварно дружество) on 26 October.
There are currently 6 brands:
- Shumensko Light (Шуменско светло, 4.3% ABV)
- Shumensko Premium (originally Шуменско специално, 5% ABV)
- Shumensko Dark (Шуменско тъмно, 5.5% ABV, available only in winter)
- Shumensko Twist (3 citrus-flavoured brands – lemon, orange and grapefruit, 2% ABV, available only in summer)
A red ale was also temporarily available (Шуменско червено) in the early 2000s.
The beer labels are exclusively written in the Cyrillic alphabet on glass bottles and in Roman script on cans; plastic litre-bottles have each on either side.
Outside of its home town, the beer is also brewed in Blagoevgrad (Pirinsko Pivo), Serbia and Greece.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
