Ochakovo - Stolichnoe
Ochakovo - Stolichnoe
Style: Euro Pale Lager
ABV: 5.0%
Origin: Moscow, Russia
Only natural ingredients are used to brew beer at the Ochakovo plant. The history of our ingredients is thoroughly known because malt barley is grown on farmland owned by the company, and it yields an exemplorary quality while maintaining ecological purity. For all products Ochakov beer hops are bought in the Czech Republic (Žatec) and Germany (Hallertau). Our suppliers guarantee its quality by certification according to strict European Union standards. Water for beer passes a three-stage preparation (filtration, softening, cleansing) in the modern equipment from the leading German manufacturer - the company «Chriwa». Brewer's yeast for bottom fermentation for Ochakovo is grown by the Berlin Institute of Brewing Specialists. In academia, a small vial with a pure culture is bought and cultivated, and in 1.5-2 weeks turn into biomass of tens of thousands of liters.
All beer brewed at the plant Ochakovo is produced by traditional brewing methods exclusively from natural ingredients.
Stolichnoe is one of the few Soviet brands of beer now coined as the beer for the upper-class. To make this possible Ochakovo specialists had to work hard to improve the recipe. The lion share of this beer is now being sold for export.
Stolichnoe was the first Russian beer, produced in cans. Due to the fact that aluminium packaging was purchased from abroad, the cost of the novelty was not cheap. In this regard many of our compatriots who left the country in the 90’s remembered this beer as a premium brand.
Nowadays Stiolichnoe is produced using famous Zhatecky hops that "Ochakovo" imports from the Czech Republic. This hop is considered to be a high-quality, rare and expensive raw material. Beer made of it, has a bright full-bodied taste with a delicate hop bitterness and special flavour. This makes for a very easy- to-drink and refreshing beverage.
