About
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.

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.

500ml bottle from Crafter Beer Shop in Moscow. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is caramel, pine, spices. Taste is orange, pine, hoppy, moderate bitterness. Seems overrated.

21-MAY-2017. BOTTLE 50 CL. Murky pale yellow, white head. Yummy tart and fruity aroma, fresh berry tartness, with some bead and dough on the background that actually works well. The taste is a good balance of tannic fruit, lactic acidity and salt. Nice white bread malts here as well. Very well built and refreshing. 7-3-7-4-15=3,6





26-JUL-2016. Leftovers from a GROWLER, so no head or carbonation. Cloudy golden-amber. Smells quite sweet and candyish - minty lokum, licorice candies, homemade mead. The taste is closer to what I expected - sea-buckthorn tart astringency with just a hint of fruitiness, followed by some salty brine and a still astringent and slightly tart/acidic finish. Tasty and the fruit really worked well here. And yes, could rate much better, if and when I get a real pour. 6-3-7-4-14=3,4
