Recognising that many people truly prefer the light and fresh flavor of
draft beer, we developed our Botchkarev draft style lager in July, 1999
when the average daily temperature was hovering around 30 degrees. The
beer has proven to be a very popular one for it is pleasingly light and
accompanies any kind of food.

Our strong lager is very popular one here in Russia. It is very similar
to our standard lager but much more malt is used. It is this extra bit
of malt and slightly longer fermentation time that gives the beer the
added kick making it 8.5% alcohol and with a gravity of 17.5%.

Our dark lager is a welcomed change from most Russian dark beers for rather
than having a heavy sweet flavour, dark Botchkarev starts with a hint
of malty-sweetness and rounds itself out quite robustly with a roasted
after-taste. The roasted flavours come from the high-quality chocolate
malt that we use for this brew.

but only after a strong malty start. The beer is rich one with a mouth-filling
quality that leads everyone first trying it to comment-"it really
has a very nice body..."-and then three bottles into any evening
and holiday festivities become rapidly more festive for the 12.6% gravity
