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.

BOTTLE 50 CL from magicmn. Bottled 27-FEB-2015. Hazy amber, tan frothy head. Big sweet citrus in the nose, orange, zesty but not so piney, passion fruit. The taste is also bold hops, citrus and zest, solid malt backbone with lots of fruit, but never with cloying caramel. Big smooth bitterness with a clean zesty finish. Smooth body, no astringency or rotten fruit. Consistent body but easy to drink, dangerously so for 9% abv. Excellent!

Draught @ TCBW 2015 Pours reddish orange with a foamy white head. Aroma of hops, caramel, herbal notes, grass, citrus, pine and resin. Taste is hoppy, herbal and grassy with notes of pine and resin. Finish is hoppy, herbal and grassy with some bitterness and caramely maltiness. Quite a herbal hop overdose, but a bit unbalanced.

Draught @ Tallinn Craft Beer Weekend 2015
Aroma has fruits, resiny tones and hints of wood. Flavour has resin, some fruity tones, grapefruit and mellow citrus tones. An imperial red ale. Aggressive but good; one can feel the 180 IBUs.
