Shikhan

Beer Description

Named after a cluster of ancient limestone mountains in Bashkortostan, Shikhan was acquired by Heineken in 2004 as part of the CEBCO deal. Heineken's ownership ended in August 2023 with the sale of its entire Russian business to Arnest Group — this entry is retained for historical record only.
