To get more content for my Restaurants and Beer Exploration in Moscow series, on March 20, 2019 went for beer to a Pivoteka 465 joint (Пивотека 465); Pivoteka 465 being a chain of small craft beer shops here in Moscow.
So that day's Beer # 1 was a pint of tap Bakunin Fibonacci DIPA.
I found it to be alright for Bakunin, everything was true to DIPA, some evil tongues may wag that there was a waft of bad smell about it but I will say that it was just breathing from raw live craft beer with genuine hops, yeast and malt (unless of course it was an unwashed tap); in any case I liked it well enough regardless, pleasantly bitter, hoppy and relatively strong so, 2.35/5, looked good too color wise.
Bakunin (Бакунин) is a Saint Petersburg based Russian brewery, named presumably after Bakunin, the famous anarchist philosopher.
On tap that day.
Beer # 2 was a pint of Salden's Milkshake DIPA with Banana Puree expertly poured for me by barkeep from a can.
Gorgeous color, and I liked it even better; as for my second beer on the day decided to go for something less bitter and more sweet, and so liked this one, nice texture and body and a good nose and it was pleasantly strong therefore effective in the consciousness expanding department, 2.75/5.
Salden's is a microbrewery from Tula in Russia whose products happen to be among my most favorite.
