Sparkling wine-champagne? Expensive cognac? Or maybe strong Russian vodka? No, the current heroes of M. Babkin - and they are all representatives of the strong half of humanity - choose beer! And what comes of this, you will find out by making a fantastic marathon journey together with the Messenger and his faithful servant Agap, as well as with Boris Borisovich, Vadim Nikolaevich, Vasily Ivanovich and other characters of the book through the streets, cities and villages of our - real, completely recognizable - and a fairy-tale world through the looking glass. Oh, and the marathon is difficult... to survive from the shock of laughter!
