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.

330mL bottle, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out vegetal notes and a light grassy character. Flavour is very dry, with grassy and vegetal notes, straw and bitter grassiness. Stale and off-putting. No good.

Slight haze. Light amber. Not much head. The hops are really toasty on the nose. Light and watery. The hops are stale...bit cheesy...not all that interesting. Just tired hops and the malt base doesn’t really go anywhere at all, so you get this odd toastiness.

Tap at Lisopylka. Cloudy rose-pink. Pinkish head. Sour fruit, can’t catch any sweetness, young green astringency. Tart vaguely fruity taste, a just a bit of residual fruity sweetness, a tad thinnish. Some sauerkraut. Okish.

Tap at Lisopylka. Hazy golden. Clear fruity, banana, not much hops or spice in the nose. Similar taste, with moderate astringent hoppiness. Decent.

Tap at Lisopylka. Slightly hazy copper, beige head. Toasted malts, even some caramel but not much acidity coming through. Vaguely South taste - not at all in the acetic winey Flanders way. That abrasive mineral brewpubish young lager mouthfeel. Not much Flanders here, I’m a afraid.
