Brewery Hopping in Moscow
Discover Moscow's craft beer scene together. Spend a relaxed day hopping from one local brewery to another; try their unique brews, join a brewery tour, and enjoy hearty pub grub in an informal and friendly atmosphere.
- Start your date at the internationally recognized Zagovor Brewery, known for their wild and experimental beers. From there, make your way to Jawsspot for their unique Russian craft beers. Don't miss out on visiting Craft RePUBlic, an ever-friendly place with a vast selection of Russian and foreign craft beers on tap. Along your journey, get to know each other more over hearty traditional pub dishes, adding a comfortable and homely feel to your date.
- Consider joining a brewery tour, as learning about the art of brewing can be both educational and fun. Listen to the intriguing stories behind your favorite brews and experience the atmosphere of an operating brewery. Ending the day with a toast using your newfound favorite local craft beer can be the perfect way to cap off this relaxed date.
- If you're tasting various beers, remember to drink responsibly. The aim is to taste, enjoy and understand the flavors, not to drink to stupor. Always order water alongside your beer samples to stay hydrated.
Preparation steps:
- Ahead of the date, familiarize yourself a little with the art of craft beer and the breweries you'll be visiting. Most of these places have an English menu, but some basic Russian phrases can be useful. Wear comfortable and casual clothes; it's more about feeling relaxed and enjoying the company of each other. Check the opening hours of the breweries, as most start serving beer only in the afternoon.
- Plan a route that allows you to visit the breweries with the least amount of travel. Moscow has a well-connected metro service, but if the breweries are within walking distance, walking lets you explore the local sights and sounds.
- If you plan to join a brewery tour, call ahead of time to book your spots. Some tours are only at certain times and may require an appointment in advance. Make sure both of you are looking forward to this unique experience.
Some tips:
- Tasting the same beers together and discussing your views can bring you closer together. You don't have to be a beer connoisseur to experience this - it's about creating shared experiences and memories. Remember, it's not about who can drink more or quicker.
- Don't forget to eat! Good food not only complements beer but also helps in maintaining a sensible level of alcohol consumption. Trying local dishes can also be part of the fun. Most breweries in Moscow offer a good array of pub dishes to go with their brews.
- Always keep an eye on your belongings and each other. Although Moscow is generally a safe city, it's always important to stay aware and vigilant, especially in places where alcohol is being consumed.
