[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 7959935, member: 19675"] I went on a trip to Russia some years ago, as part of an MBA class. We were looking at how business is done in Russia as a contrast to other countries. One of the things we did was tour Razin brewery at @10AM. When we got to the end of the tour, they ushered us into a boardroom, where we were each seated with an array of all 14 or so of Razin’s products, It seems they were giddy at having just been bought by Heineken, so they were giving us samples of everything to try, By “samples”, I mean we each had whole bottles, all opened in front of us, with glasses. Did I mention the tour started at 10AM? I definitely enjoyed much of what I had, and vowed to look for their stuff when I got back to the USA, especially their kvass- a traditional Russian low-alcohol beer made from fermented raisin bread which tastes a lot like Dr. Pepper. It’s low enough in alcohol content they even sell it as a fountain drink. Alas, the new owners seemed to have different plans. I’ve never seen a Razin product anywhere since that day. [/QUOTE]
