Description
В 2003 году мы открыли одну из первых семейных пивоварен в России. Уже тогда мы варили красный эль и копчёный раух, когда еще никто в нашей стране не знал слово «крафт». В 2009 запустили новое производство в совхозе «Масловский» — наш великолепный замок. В 2018 восстановили вкусы «Жигулевского» разных эпох: от индустриализации до Олимпиады 1980. В 2019 получили первую международную награду — серебро престижного немецкого конкурса European Beer Star. Новые медали, в том числе золотые, не заставили себя долго ждать. В 2023 году экскурсии на пивоварне «ТАРКОС» посетили 14 000 человек.

with all due respect to Tarkos, I have doubts that the original technology for brewing beer in the Stein Beer style has been followed here...

450ml bottle. Pours clear amber with a tall off-white head. Aroma is caramel, malt, grass. Taste is light sweet. Light bitter finish. Light to medium bodied. It's passable, but almost as usual for Tarkos it tastes watered down. Clearly not a Steinbeer.
