Welcome to kvass: a traditional fermented drink with a long-established place in Eastern European refreshment. This Ukrainian black variety brings the darker, toasted side of the family to your fridge.

Made in Ukraine by Persha Pryvatna Brovarnya, or “First Private Brewery,” this Lvivskyi version is unfiltered and pasteurised, with a dark colour and a malt-based recipe.

Expect sweet, toasted bread and caramel notes, a gentle sour edge and some fizz.

Roasted-malt flavour gives it its darker character, while orange-peel extract adds a little citrus interest. A good first step if your new in the world of drinkable bread.

Lvivskyi means “of Lviv”a nod to the western Ukrainian city where Persha Pryvatna Brovarnya, the “First Private Brewery,” began as a family business in 2004.

In 2012, its story joined a much older one: the Radomyshl brewery, founded in 1886 by the Czech Albrecht brothers, who brought their brewing traditions to Ukraine. 

Expect soft wheat bread notes, mild sweetness and a refreshing sour edge, with a little citrus character from orange-peel extract. Light malt and bubbles make this an easy companion for salty snacks—and a good starting point for anyone curious about kvass.

For Slavs, kvass belongs to the everyday memories: summer shopping trips, lunch at home, sitting outside with friends. The familiar pleasure of something cold, bready and slightly sour while the afternoon takes off.

For centuries, kvass refreshed soldiers, workers and families across Eastern Europe. Traditionally made by fermenting bread or malt, this sweet-sour drink travelled from household kitchens and military mess tables to the famous soviet summer street barrels.

New to the tradition? Grab a can and some sukhariki. Already know your kvass? You probably have an opinion ready. We respect this.
