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 at TCBW. Pours golden with whiteish head. Aroma is nice hoppy mosaic, fruits, citrus. Flavor follows the nose. Finish is grapefruit bitter. Overall: APA-ish (which is not a good thing), but I really like mosaic, so this is enjoyable.

On tap at TCBW 2016. Very dark, close to black without any head. Almost intense vinous aroma, a strange marriage between imperial stout and port wine. Roasted malt, oak, ripe grapes, dark fruits, dark chocolate and some alcohol. Strong and intense, but quite enjoyable. --- Beer merged from original tick of Лоботомия 777 on 02 Apr 2016 at 19:31 - Score: 8
