At 10:30 AM.   From their kvass (a "near beer" made from fermented raisin breads that is virtually non-alcoholic and tastes like Dr. Pepper) to their varied porters, wheats, and the like, I didn't taste a bad drop of brew.  I'm hopeful because 2 weeks before my tour, they were bought out by Heineken and were expecting to get broad distribution.(For the record, I found the Russian beers I tried in general to be equal to their more famous German counterparts.)So far, talking to a couple of "boutique" liquor stores have yielded ZERO results.</blockquote>
