Beer is a beverage-legend with a world history. Craft-U-Brewery was opened in 2010 in the historical building of the oldest brewery in Siberia. Beer has been brewing here as far back as in the middle of the 19th century. Since that time the brewery went through all kinds of epochs, but the brewing traditions were kept like a good beer in an oak barrel.
Craft-U-Brewery is a modern facility equipped with the newest machinery. Our brewmasters put their heart and soul into the work skillfully combining traditions and modern technologies.
We brew the real beer the way our fathers and grandfathers knew it. There are only natural ingredients in our recipes: water, malt, hop and beer yeast. We believe that beer should be honest!
In order to brew really good beer we have brought together historical traditions and new technologies. Our team is built up with young brewers anxious for experiments and experienced masters whose recipes became legends. Galina Basalayeva, the head-brewer of Pikra, is an author of such famous sorts of beer like “Kupecheskoye”, “Voyevoda”, “Zapovednoye”. Hubert Auinger, braumaster, expert-brewer from Germany, whose opinion is valued by the best Russian and European breweries. Martin Grubesh, degreed brewer and beer sommelier from Czechia, expert on beer psychology processes.
Our brewmasters treat their product with love. Indeed, it takes from 45 up to 90 days to prepare every sort of beer, whether it classic ale or matured porter.
We are a team of professionals, beer enthusiasts, masters proud of the quality of their product. We respect our customers and please them with new tastes and impressions. We aim at the future and want to make the global beer consumption culture richer.
