Bochkarev

Bochkarev is a Russian pale lager brand that became prominent in the late Soviet and post-Soviet beer market. It later became part of Heineken’s Russian operations during the company’s expansion in the country, placing it within the former Heineken-connected Russian beer archive. The beer reflects mainstream Eastern European lager character: golden colour, filtered clarity, clean fermentation, mild malt sweetness, and restrained bitterness. Within the archive, Bochkarev documents a recognizable regional beer identity from a major transitional period in Russian brewing history.
