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.
