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.

Can from BiervanEijk, Frederiksoord. Aroma is floral hop with citrus, soft pale malt, oats, some tropical fruits, more floral notes. Touch of candied fruit. A bit sweeter than I like with a mild bitterness. Medium body. Not bad, bit on the sweet side.

Can from BiervanEijk, Frederiksoord. Aroma is roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, espresso, hint of liquorice. Comes with a weird little touch of veggies. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Body is medium. Too bad about the curious off-flavour, there's a decent Stout underneath.

Hazy gold with a bubbly/frothy white head and a sweet citrus aroma. Fresh and clean with sweet citrus fruit and light caramel malt, a sharpish kick of hop bitterness and a dry bitter finish
