At the Crew Republic brewery, we shared best practices of beer production, compared the types of beer and measured the amount of alcohol in our stout.
We are deeply grateful to Paul Judt and Waldemar Janzen for their assistance!

In 2016 was a 500th anniversary of the Beer Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot). The Bavarian Duke Wilhelm IV Wittelsbach passed Reinheitsgebot in Ingolstadt on April 23, 1516. The law established rules for the production and the trade of beer.
For this anniversary we released two new types of beer: Quincentenary and Belgian ale.

January - December
In 2005 we came up with an idea to open a brewery for the sports bar 5:0. In May we visited the brewery exhibition in Sochi and made up our mind about the supplier of equipment. Our choice fell on the Austrian company Salm. In winter 2006 we reconstructed the premises for production and in May started the installation of equipment. In December, brewers from Salm arrived for training and production start-up.
