Varvar Brew

Microbrewery in Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine 🇺🇦
Associated with 2 Venues

Description
It all has started with a dream. OK, let's be honest, it's started with a glass of beer. Brewed by someone else.

Dream big. Always dream big, you know. We started small because at the beginning the only thing we had was our dream. We haven't owned any equipment, so our first brews were born at other city and other mash tun entirely. But we took one step at the time and soon our very own, very handcrafted and assembled by hand brewery arrived from Bila Tserkva. We installed it here in Kyiv at the premises of the former lumber house – “lisopylka” in Ukrainian, hence the name of the brew-pub – and continued the pursuit of our dream.

Today we have new state-of-the-art brewery and immensely proud of it. Don't think that we discarded our small but utterly loved old brewing system, because we have, yes you've guessed, BIG plans for it. And we keep on dreaming big. We just want to share this dream of better beer, sheer enjoyment of the drink, greater and more diverse beer culture, share it with you.

Просто неплохое золотое пиво, весьма сдобно охмелено, хотя и солода тут достаточно, особо больше ничего.

On tap at MBCC 2025 (Yellow session), pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some citric notes, light yogurt, much else. Flavour has plenty of kalamansi, yogurt, and seltzery notes. Not much depth or pleasant notes here but inoffensive.

Flavour is chocolatey, with lactose, cocoa, and a touch of berries. Very light on the palate, finishing like chocolate milk. Okay.
