    Not sure if this is the right subforum to ask this question, but I'll try.

    I'm of Russian descent living in Europe and I'm interested in American craft beer that has any kind of reference to Russia in its' name. Here are the beers I have on my list so far:
    * DESTIHL - Privyet, DESTIHL - Dosvidanya
    * Cigar City - Marshal Zhukov's
    * Voodoo - Зангиеф
    * Kane - Medovik

    Is there anything else that I have missed? Any help is very appreciated. Also, if you have those beers and want to trade (I'll be in Great Lakes and/or Pacific area some time this winter), drop me a PM :slight_smile:

    North Coast Old Rasputin.

    Great beer. Easily available in most of the U.S., and in pretty much every bottle shop, and a lot of stores out here on the Pacific Coast.

    I would search for any Russian Imperial Stout style on this site and just skim the results... sure to be plenty of Russian references there.

    Aston PA's 2SP The Russian, though I doubt you'll find it outside of PA. Good hunting!

    Not American, but Nickelbrook from Burlington Ontario does a nice stout called Bolshevik Bastard. Nickelbrook does distro in a few northern states.

    Double Barrel Popinski by Angry Chair. Wasn't sure if it was Polish or Russian based on the name, but the label has the old USSR/CCCP hammer and sickle tatoo on the guys chest so I'm assuming its Russian.

    But I don't think they've made it in a number of years.
