Description
Established in 1970 in Gyumri, Armenia's second-largest city, "Gyumri-Garejour" LLC has carved a niche in beer and malt production. Despite a setback from a destructive earthquake in 1988, which nearly razed the brewery, reconstruction efforts commenced post-privatization in 1995.

The brewery's production conforms to the international standard ISO 22000-2018 of Quality Management Systems and Requirements. It is one of the few breweries in the Trans-Caucasian Region, producing high-quality malt for its own needs.

With a rich history and a commitment to quality, "Gyumri-Garejour" LLC continues to carve out a niche in the brewing industry, delivering high-quality beer and malt to its customers in Armenia and beyond.

50cl bottle at my hotel room in Yerevan. Pours pale golden with a small white head. Standard industrial lager. Sweet, lightly malty and drinkable, but not worth bringing back home.

50cl bottle at my hotel room in Yerevan. Pours pale golden with a small white head. Standard industrial lager. The lowest ABV beer from Gyumri, but still I think this was my favourite. Don’t quite know why, maybe it was a bit less sweet than the other Gyumri beers, but they tasted pretty much the same to me. Drinkable, but not worth bringing back home.

50cl bottle at an outdoor café in Yerevan. My first taste of Armenian beer. Pours pale golden with a minimal white head. Pretty much the standard industrial lager. Perhaps a bit maltier than the other Gyumri beers, but they tasted pretty much the same to me. Quite drinkable.

45cl bottle at an outdoor café in Yerevan. Pours pale golden with a large white head. Pretty much the standard industrial lager, but slightly better than expected. Slightly bitter and not so sweet. Refreshing enough and not the worst pale lager from Armenia.

Bottled(500ml). -Had this one while watching Champions Leaugu match between Dinamo Zagreb and Pyunik Yerevan (Armenia).
Pale golden coloured, medium sized white head that went away slowly, dusty grassy nose. Malty, lemony hoppy and faint fruity with notes of rice and dust. Nothing special, just drinkable. Thanks to friend for bringing this beer from Armenia!!!

My first Armenian beer. Pale golden coloured, small white head, light malty nose. Sweet malty and surprisingly pleasant hoppy taste with notes of rice. Short moderate bitter finish. Simple and good lager from "exotic" country. Thanks to friend for bringing this beer from Armenia!!!
