Tinkoff (Tinkov)

Tinkoff beer first appeared on the Russian market in 1998 - it was supposedly based on an old family recipe dating back to Peter I.

The Tinkoff (Tinkov) brewery, based in St. Petersburg, was wholly owned by founder and entrepreneur Oleg Tinkov before being acquired in July 2005 by InBev – the owner of Russia’s second largest brewer Sun Interbrew.

Tinkoff's market share in Russia was 2% - its beer was the first Russian beer to enter the US market.
