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.

Bottled. Thanks Sandi and Petar! Honeyish golden body, white head. Dry apricot, honey, flowers, tropical fruit and maltiness in the aroma, creamy. Creamy taste, yoghurty tropical fruit / peach notes, herbal touches, ends very very dry and somewhat bitter with vague alcohol breaking through. Slightly perfumey. So damn lean, but otherwise a very nice beer. oh well.

Thanks Sandi and Petar! Poured a full golden body with a white head. Citric-orangey and flowery aroma, clear Amarillo on a malty base with just trace butter. More orange/citric notes, herbal more than flowery (but both), slightly soapy. Bitterish herbal finish. Okay overall, but sadly a bit too flat.

Bottle. Thanks Sandi and Petar! Hazy yellow body, white head. Very nice lemon/orange peel aroma, with some coriander, quite a promising start. Soft, citric taste, light coriander, good carbonation on a slightly too lean body. Very citric, too citric even, and liiiightly tart. Okay overall, but not more.
