234: Russia's Knightberg Cider | St Petersburg

Elena V. Tyukina is the Brewmaster and co-owner along with her husband of Knightberg Brewery in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Located in the historical district of this premier European city of distinction, is not small task. Think small road ways and antiquated systems that need to be revved up to meet the modern demand of brewing and fermenting. Fermenters world wide are not afraid of doing the impossible and Knightberg is a classic example of this fact. For instance, Knightberg was the first brewery in Russia to brew an India Pale Ale (IPA) and now producing cider!

Elena V. Tyukina

Having studied how cider was made in other countries Elena started making cider in 2014 at the brewery.

The 2017 Force of Gravity, a brut cider aged in oak 4.5%, won a Silver Medal at the 2019 Great Lakes International Cider and Perry Competition. This cider was aged for 9 months, which meant she had to hide the barrels in the back so that her brew team would not try to sell it before it was ready.

Elena likes dry cider with a bit of sparkle (bubbles) and this cider fit the ticket.

Expect more quality ciders from the dynamic team at Knightberg.
