Our Brewery
Do you know how they used to determine the strength and quality of beer in the old days?
A barrel of beer was poured onto an oak bench, and the inspectors wearing leather trousers were immediately seated on it. If, after an hour, the inspectors remained firmly seated on the bench, the beer was considered to be of high-quality, strong and brewed in accordance with all regulations.
Nowadays, we certainly don’t ask our guests to test the quality of our beer with their pants, although we do have excellent oak benches.
What is the secret of beer's popularity from the brewery "Karl and Friedrich"?
For more than 20 years, we have been guaranteeing excellent organoleptic characteristics of the foamy drink thanks to the experience of our brewers and high-tech equipment from Caspary.
The German family company Caspary has been brewing since 1788 and has been building turnkey breweries for over 50 years. In 2012, Caspary representatives completely modernized the Karl and Friedrich brewery and installed a 10 hectoliter brewhouse with open fermentation and semi-automatic control.
Over the years, the fame of our beer has spread far beyond the borders of St. Petersburg, so ten years later the Caspary company helped us open a second production facility in a separate building. There is a fully automated brewhouse with a capacity of 20 hectoliters with cylindrical-conical tanks.
Together, these two facilities represent virtually every possible brewery configuration.
The Brewery Is Our Pride
In the hall on the first floor, our guests can observe colossal beer boilers and shiny copper pipes than intertwine beneath the ceiling with massive wooden beams, creating a magnificent impression.
If you wish, you can take a tour of the brewery and learn more about the intricate process of beer brewing.
For instance, you will find that wort for our beer is produced through a traditional decoction method, fermentation is conducted according to the traditional Bavarian technique, and high-quality raw materials give our beer its best taste qualities.
And, sure enough, we strictly follow the 1516 Munich Beer Purity Law.
The guided tours take place every day from 16:00 to 20:00.
