How many types of beer were there in the USSR? One – “Zhigulevskoe” or two – “there is beer” and “there is no beer”? Or maybe there were as many as 350 of them? When did “Zhigulevskoye” and “Rizhskoye” appear? And how similar is modern “Zhigulevskoe” to what was brewed before the war? Was there non-alcoholic beer in the USSR and vice versa - very strong varieties that were not inferior to today’s in alcohol content? Were ale, honey varieties, beer with aromatic additives, wheat beer brewed in the USSR ? Was there “live” beer in the USSR? In this book, you will find answers to all these questions; almost all types of beer brewed in the history of the USSR are mentioned in it. Some are only mentioned, for others detailed recipes for their preparation are given. As illustrations, you will see the labels of almost all types of Soviet beer. This is a very brief encyclopedia of Soviet beers. The publishing layout is saved in PDF A4 format.
