From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kvass is a mostly Russian beverage.

Since these days it's hardly made fresh anymore, but produced industrially, here's my list of products and their quality.

  • Barrel kvass (Бочковой квас - напиток брожения фильтрованный пастеризованный). I found it to quite awful; couldn't drink it.
Made by “БИЗИ”, Kaliningrad, Russia, for Monolith Unternehmensgruppe, Völker GmbH (as Zwieback-Trunk, rusk drink).
Ingredients: carbonated water[1]специально подготовленная вода, sugar (сахар), concentrate of kvass wort (концентрат квасного сусла), kvass culture[2] (закваска). (Strangely enough the German text on the same bottle gives as ingredients: water, sugar, rye malt, barley flour, and yeast.)
Nutrition values: 29 kcal/100 ml with carbohydrates 5,6 g/100ml.
Price: I've paid 1€39 for 2 litres in Lahr.

  1. ^ a b I am not so sure about that translation, it's propably wrong, but I found the Russian term only in the context of carbonated and soda water.
  2. ^ I'm rather guessing, based on automated and moderated internet dictionaries.
