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.

Tap. Deep amber, cloudy. Medium head. Pale well loaded malts and rich American hops on aroma. Medium body. The hops make the flavour picture. The malts are responsible for balance. Medium to full bitterness. Like

Deep brown to black, opaque, moderate creamy head. Nice lacing. A: coffee, earth, roast, fruity & spicy American hop. Medium body. The flavour is interesting. Porteresque notes go along with notable fresh fruitiness. Light bitterness. Quite different one

Tap. Hazy yellow, modest white creamy head. Smells of mango, peach, spicy hop, minimal wild yeast. Light body. Smooth oily palate. Light fruity acidity on tongue. A touch of citric bitterness along. This brew is quite harmonious.

Howard Loves Craft, Moscow tap: pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is tart berry, lacto, yeast. Taste is kind of sour, but still pretty soft. Light saltiness. Pretty good even by current American gose standards. Nice to see Russian beer using native ingredients.
