1. Amstel
The price is 67 rubles.
Fortress - 4.5%.
On the first line of the selection of the best beer according to Roskachestvo is a delicious and beautiful-looking foamy drink. It will appeal to both novice beer lovers and beer gourmets who are accustomed to beer with a balanced taste and abundant foam. Amstel has a good sense of bitterness and hops, but in moderation.
Not all brewers agreed with Roskachestvo's assessment. The Union of Brewers said that the organization made violations during the tasting and in the preparation of materials. In addition, the dissatisfaction of the brewers was caused by the decision of Roskachestvo to divide the tested products into “tasty” and “tasteless”.
Attempts to define the best beer in Russia, as, indeed, in other countries, are constantly being undertaken, however, true beer lovers are skeptical about such ratings. And there are several reasons for this:
- firstly, there is never a stagnation in the production of a foamy drink, and therefore strict judges will not have time to name the best beer (based on market research and a consumer survey ), how another leader comes to replace him in the new rating;
- secondly, any survey covers a relatively narrow circle of beer admirers, and therefore it simply cannot reflect all the tastes and preferences of a multimillion-strong army of consumers. That is why in the comments to any rating you can find angry statements like “Your best lager is just rubbish”;
- thirdly, in Russia, such ratings are completely empty, since it is objective to determine the best beer for such huge country is simply impossible. Most often, beer ratings are guided by the main metropolitan areas of the European part of Russia, and sometimes they simply do not go further than Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Rating of the best Russian beer
Still, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the latest ratings of the best Russian beer. At least for the purpose of obtaining information that can be useful to many. So, according to them, several varieties of light lager "Moscow brewing company". These are "Khamovniki": "Munich", "Pilsen" and "Vienna". “Munich” is especially famous in bottling, which can be tasted in the best bars and restaurants of Moscow. It is worth paying attention to the brand of the same manufacturer "Cervena Selka".
The second place is confidently occupied by a number of varieties of the Anapa Bogerhof brewery, among which Rye semi-dark and Bannoe dark stand out (although many people prefer the light lager of this brand).
The third place was occupied by two varieties of "Tomsk beer" (light and dark) of the Siberian company of the same name. Although lovers strong beer they would certainly prefer to move from fifth to one of the leading positions the porter "Afanasy" of the Tver brewery of the same name, and lovers of light lager would prefer the varieties "Sibirskaya Korona" of OJSC "SUN Inbev". And it’s hard to say which beer is actually better, it’s not for nothing that they say: there are no comrades for the taste and color ...
For example, brewers from the Ulyanovsk region claim that best drink than is produced in the mini-brewery Zlata Podkova in Dimitrovgrad, is not found in all of Russia, and maybe even in Europe. It is no coincidence that even Muscovites and Petersburgers come here to try it, and rare foreign guests are surprised to find that in the Russian outback you can drink simply amazing ale!..
The best foreign beer in Russia
Many people remember that thirty years ago any foreign beer was the best of the best for the Russian consumer. Fortunately, this state of affairs is a thing of the past. Today, the domestic foamy drink is no worse, or even an order of magnitude better than the "foreign" one, and this is firstly. And secondly, an imported product is always more expensive than a similar domestic product. For this reason, by the way, foreign beers are considered in a separate rating category as the most expensive.
The first place among such drinks in many Russian ratings occupies the Bavarian beer Spaten (full name - Spaten Munchen Hell) of the German brewery Spaten-Franziskaner-Brau GmbH, which has been producing it in Munich since 1397. The Spaten logo has even become the symbol of Germany's main annual beer festival, the Oktoberfest.
In second place, most Russian brewers put the Belgian ale Blanche de Namur with its spicy fruity aroma (curacao and coriander). In 2009, at the international exhibition World Beer Awards, this drink was recognized as the best white blanche in the world.
Well, our consumer awarded the third place by a majority of votes to the German unfiltered wheat drink Franziskaner, which has been produced by the Munich brewery of the same name since 1363. Its undoubted advantages are a special culture of brewer's yeast, unique wheat malt and strict use in the production of three main ingredients: water, hops and malt.
As you can see, it is quite difficult to unequivocally answer the question of which beer is better than all others in Russia. Probably, for this reason, the First Beer Club was created in due time, which helps its members to keep the right course in the modern "sea of beer". Although, to be honest, many who come to this wonderful association are no less interested in discounts, which bars and restaurants - partners of the club - provide to its members.
And since such cooperation is very mutually beneficial, there are more and more such benefits, as well as institutions that provide them, in Russia (and not only). Therefore, trying the best beer, including foreign production, is not a problem for club members. If you want to drink only the best beers at affordable prices, then we are waiting for you at the "First Beer Club"! To receive discounts at popular establishments, you need to get a special one.
Beer has been one of the favorite drinks of men since ancient times. Today, this product is consumed with the same pleasure by the fair sex.
Such popularity of beer provoked the expansion of its range. On the shelves of modern supermarkets or in beer bars, pubs, you can find dozens or even hundreds of types of this malt drink.

The most popular bottled and draft beer in Russia: the best varieties
The best sorts of bottled and draft beer in Russia Summing up the results of the article, we can conclude that in our country the culture of brewing and drinking beer is finally reaching a new level. People stopped simply absorbing a cheap, tasteless product. They are increasingly trying to taste as many different brands and types of beer as possible in order to choose one or two of their favorites.
This trend has provoked the development in Russia of an increasing number of craft, small breweries that create exclusive, unique beer tastes. Apparently, therefore, products of such small enterprises are more and more often priced, and not mass-produced beer, which has become boring for everyone for a long time, and, moreover, is brewed from incomprehensible ingredients.

Hop Mastery
Finback Brewery Stellar Wind
TripleIPA
Every year the world sees new triple IPAs. They are often too strong or too bitter, or both. But Stellar Wind is a different matter: the NEIPA influence keeps the bitterness (and body) soft, and the 10 percent alcohol burns less than you'd expect. Aromas of nutmeg, peach, freshly cut grass, warm orange blossom honey and sweet glazed cakes keep the NEIPA connection. All these notes are felt on the tongue before the sip, in which vanilla, wheat and creamy lollipops come to the fore, remaining against the backdrop of warming alcohol. This beer, instead of attacking the receptors, feels soft like fluff.
Cloudwater Brew Co. NW DIPA Citra BBC Simcoe
ImperialIPA
It would be a mistake to say that New England-style IPAs are limited by geography. This style may have originated in the northeastern United States, but now it has spread throughout the world. In our opinion, few American breweries brew NEIPA better than Cloudwater, and this double IPA is arguably the best British brewery has achieved. With every sip, a hurricane of flavors covers the tongue - nutmeg, pineapple, raw grass, the slightest notes. blue cheese. The initial herbaceousness explodes with tangerines and mango puree, and the bitterness rises to the finish, and although it is stronger than usual for this style, it does not seem superfluous.
Hop Butcher for the World Grid
American pale ale
Brewers have been honing and refining IPAs over the past few years, and pale ale has been a little bit abandoned. But Hop Butcher showed that classic American style can still surprise. Citra and Mosaic saturate the beer with a powerful aroma that mixes marijuana and freshly cut grass, as well as caramelized onions, grapefruit peel and soft notes of mango. The beer changes with every sip. In one sip, you can feel the odorous notes of onion, in the other - sour mandarin, which gives way to pineapple and peach. Herbaceous flavors remain in the mouth, grapefruit pulp tingles on the sides of the tongue, and in the finish there is a light sweetness reminiscent of herb crackers. We can't believe that such a strong taste (and a wonderful texture - soft as goose down) could be embodied in a pale ale, but every sip confirms it. This is probably the best style we've tried this year.
Burial Beer Co./Interboro Spirits & Ales Stay G-O-L-D
AmericanIPA
In June, we held a massive IPA blind tasting. Of the 386 samples that were sent to us from all over the country, Stay G-O-L-D turned out to be the best. How by the way that the word "gold" is in its name. This is not just a collaboration between brewers, but between brewers and musicians - Run the Jewels, who gave beer the name of the track from their new album. But Stay G-O-L-D won the first place not because of its musical background - it's a matter of taste. The beer is as juicy as freshly squeezed tangerine juice with mango and peach, with a soft breadiness and a hint of vanilla, reminiscent of milk shake. Further sips reveal jam pie, pine needles, and even some pineapple. Hopped with Citra and Mosaic plus a double dose of dry hopping with Mosaic lupulin powder (this year's trend) for a kaleidoscopic hop character. The beer is bitter, but the bitterness is so pure and soft that it is barely noticeable. In Stay G-O-L-D, everything - hop flavor, bitterness, malt base, body, alcohol - is balanced and in its place. And the tasting showed that such a balance is rare. You don't often find gold, but when you do, you should keep it with you.
Noble AleWorks Nuclear Haze
ImperialIPA
Haze continues to dominate IPAs, and more New England-inspired hazes have been released this year. This double IPA with Citra, Mosaic, Idaho 7 and Ekuanot, however, crushed everyone else like a 50 megaton warhead. Onions, wheatgrass and tangerine explode in this cloudy liquid, and among the decay products are pineapple peel, soft peach and dried vanilla. Sour citrus and pine needles are found in the next sips, the finish is mostly dry and grassy with chunks wheat bread and soft onion skins. The soft and juicy body is saturated with hop flavor, and almost capsaicin fire tingles the tongue like radiation. Don't forget to wear a protective suit.
SØLE Artisan Ales Mosaic Nerd
IPA hoppedMosaic
Mosaic hops have been used for a long time, first for flavor in traditional IPAs and pale ales, and now for the juicy fruitiness of New England style IPAs. Although Mosaic often plays a secondary role in addition to Citra or Simcoe, it is able to come to the fore, which is what happens in this SØLE Artisan Ales single-hop. This beer is a sample of the Mosaic character, filled to the brim juicy oranges, sour citruses and fresh grapefruit. It is for the sake of such beer that hop growers allocate more and more areas for Mosaic. We hope they will keep up with the demand of brewers.
Allagash Brewing Co. BrettIPA
Brett beer
This year the brewers have found new interesting ways the combination of hops and aromatic yeast notes, but no one has done it better than Allagash. Hopped with Amarillo, Bravo, Cascade, Centennial, Citra and Galaxy, this Brett IPA beckons with warm flavors of sweet pineapple, meringue, orange blossom and lychee, followed by the lightest barnyard notes. Crispy straw and baguette crust coexist with melon and grassy notes of hops, the finish is almost dry and only slightly peppery, with moderate light bitterness. This is a beer of outstanding complexity and sophistication. Plus, part of the profits will go to the animal shelter.
Rethinking the IPA
Reuben's Brews/Siren Craft Brew Home From Home
CoffeeIPA
New wave coffee beans give brewers the same vast flavor spectrum as hops. And if you combine them, then the whole can be greater than the sum of the parts. Such is this New England style coffee IPA, the perfect fusion of fruity Kenyan coffee beans with a trio of Galaxy, Mosaic and Motueka hops. Oat malt and lactose round out the beer, and hops and coffee show up brighter against their background. Sweet, croissant-like maltiness transitions into cold coffee with cream, light shades of grapefruit peel are refreshing, and notes of mocha manifest themselves in the finish. Every technical solution here is carefully thought out, you just have to enjoy every sip.
Modern Times Beer Triton Project
DoubleIPA with South African hops
Who would have thought a year ago that South African hops would be talked about so much? In May, in restricting small brewers' access to South African hops, the giant responded that it was all about the low yield. SAB Hop Farms is now owned by AB InBev, which means the multinational company has access to varieties that have recently become popular in the US - Southern Star, Southern Passion and African Queen. The last two, along with the experimental variety XJA2/436, have been successfully used by Modern Times. This trio provides flavors of mango, sweet grapefruit, lemon and lime, as well as pleasant grassy notes of freshly cut grass. Will craft brewers be able to purchase South African hops in 2018? Will hope.
Perfect porters
Ecliptic Brewing Capella Porter
Stout
Every year beer becomes more and more strange: experimental styles, unusual ingredients, untried techniques appear. All this is interesting, but sometimes tiring, and you want a simple porter brewed exactly in style - and here comes the time of Ecliptic head brewer John Harris. As one of the founders of Deschutes Brewery, Harris created Black Butte Porter, a style that remains one of the best sellers. Capella, which has been part of the Ecliptic range since the very beginning, since 2013, was bottled for the first time only this year. According to Harris, the recipe has been completely changed, but the approach remains the same - "creatively traditional". Small changes (Munich malt to enhance the toasty and biscuity character, shellless chocolate malt to reduce astringency and softer roasted notes) created the character of the beer. Capella - with hints of cocoa, roasted peanuts, burnt sugar and crushed black pepper, dry finish and long notes of licorice and burnt toast - this is the best example of the style we have tried this year.
Abnormal Beer Co./J. Wakefield Brewing All of the Lights
Imperial porter with coffee, lactose and hazelnuts

In any country, in stores or supermarkets, you can find dozens of beers that differ in color, taste and ingredients.
In Russia, research is carried out every year, which determines the best varieties of malt drink and forms a rating that allows buyers to make a choice and enjoy new brands from famous brewers. Regular competitions, the results of which are announced and covered in the media, allow all Russians to find out which brands deserve attention this year.
