Description
AF Brew is one of the pioneers of Russian craft beer revolution. We started the show in the ‘faraway’ 2012 in St. Petersburg, the most beer-focused and heritage city of Russia. Four years ago we started as a gipsy brewery having launched one of the first accessible craft beers in Russia – Ingria IPA, with the name dedicated to historically disputed region where the city of St. Petersburg is located. Our primary mission has never changed since then – we brew beer which was never brewed before and we keep no rules. November 2016 we turned the biggest page in our history: we finally built our very own brewery in our home city. The brewery is located on the historical site of 18-19th century city brewery and we did our best to make it a very nice and devoted place to brew and to spend time in. The open plan site with 20 hl brewing system and 400 hl fermentation capacity is supposed to grow twice in two years. It is already a home base for all our brews, collaborations and guest projects. It’s coupled with a barrel-room full of various wood-aging stuff and a taproom to drink, talk and have fun around.

Fra flaske på RBHD-treff ombord på Fridtjofen jan-17: lett uklar kobbergylden med flott skum som varer. Deilig citrusaroma med litt lime. Fin maltkropp som balanserer. Fruktig og fin, med lett bitterhet i avslutningen.

Draught. Pours murky amber, little creamy head. Weak lacing. All the hop luxury on nose: Citrus, tropics, pine. Nectary malts somewhat hidden away. The taste is where they play the main part. Nectar, Melon, tropical fruit, orange, tangerine, pine, a little earth form the flavours composition. medium to high bitterness finishes all. Full-bodied. Soft carbonation. Generally a powerful DIPA with lacking drinkability

Draught. Murky amber, little head. Weak retention. Sugared malts and American hops on nose. Full body. Creamy palate. The flavour is full of solid pale malts and tropical hops. Medium to heavy bitterness. Good but not that easy to drink.
