KBREW BEER PROCESS
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND RESPECT FOR TRADITION. Kozhevnikovo Brewery adheres to the classical brewing method. That is why we give preference to proven vintage recipes from ex-USSR, Europe and the USA.
It takes time to brew a good product. That is why we are not in a hurry. We give our beer time to mature well in the barrel and become the best in its class.
The combination of tradition and advanced technologies has become the key to success in the production of natural beer, which undergoes a long process of step-by-step fermentation and natural maturation.
ART OF BEER MAKING. We produce 12 craft and author's beers in 0.45 liter glass bottles, including 3 varieties of 0% alcohol beer.
KBREW beer recipes are developed by top European and Russian brewing masters. Each of the 12 varieties has its own special pronounced taste and aroma. Every beer lover would find a variety to his taste among KBREW labels.
Our 0% ALCOHOL BEER due to special brewing technology is indistinguishable from alcoholic beer in taste, which causes delight and surprise for true beer lovers.
Our craft alcoholic beer is similar in quality to the best samples of the world's craft beer, and due to the optimization of production we offer very competitive prices.
THE RIGHT BEER INGREDIENTS. We brew great beer using only natural ingredients. Quality malt, hops, yeast, natural fruits extracts and water - these are the 5 elements of KBREW beer success.
Malt is the sprouted and then hot air-dried grains of cereals: barley, wheat, etc., which are the most important ingredients in traditional beer that give it a significant part of its flavor and taste. We get malt from the best producers in the USA, Russia, Germany, Belgium and the Czech Republic.
Beer hops are the buds of special varieties of the Húmulus lúpulus plant - a traditional ingredient of European beers, which is responsible for a significant part of beer flavor as well as bitterness. We purchase Amarillo, Citra, First Gold, Magnum, Northern Brewer, Perle, Saaz or Žatec, Sorachi Ace hops from producers in Europe and America.
Brewer's yeast - artificially bred strains of cultured yeast that give the best results in beer making. Yeast is primarily responsible for fermentation, but also affects the aroma and taste of the beer. Different yeast varieties can enhance and emphasize the varietal characteristics of the beer.
Natural fruit extracts and juices are not as essential as malt or water, but they do influence the organoleptic characteristics of special beer brands. In various types of beer we use: lemon and orange extracts as well as natural cherry juice.
Water is the most important ingredient in beer. And good clean water is the most important ingredient of a quality beer. Water has a strong influence on the fermentation of the wort, on the taste of the beer, on its color and clarity, as well as on its longevity.
