You never think about it, but people in the former communist empire Soviet Union loved beer, almost as much as vodka. They drink much more beer than their own national drink and whereever they are, it was always beer o’clock.
Times they are a changin`, Bob Dylan said. These days you must drive to the edge of the empire to find the old culture of drinking. In Yerevan, capital of Armenia, they still alive: The Soviet Beer House (19 Teryan St, Yerevan 0010) brings you back in the times of Stalin and Lenin with propaganda posters and slogans from the past when the communist Empire produced different varieties of beers like Zhigulevskoe (Zhiguli), Russkoe (Russian), Moskovskoe (Moscow), Ukrainskoe (Ukrainian), Leningradskoe (Leningrad), Porter, Martovskoe (March), and Karamelnoe (Caramel).
In Yerevan you can´t drink them all, but you have a chance to get some draught beer Kilikia or a bottle of Kotayk Gold. Don´t miss it! Nasdarovye!
