Message mjs beers 11413 º places 46 º 06:38 Thu 5/31/2012 Hi, My wife brought me to Russian beers. I am not sure whether they are in the database already or should I add them. If the latter how should I transliterate the names? The names of the beers written with cyrillic alphabets are: Сан кт-П ете рву рг Калинкинь (According to the back label it is (contract) brewed by Heineken Russia) Бря нск пив о Пиво Жиг уле вск ое Светлое // Matti

Message MacBoost beers 2074 º places 37 º 07:15 Thu 5/31/2012 St. Petersberg Kalinkin and Bryanskpivo Zhigulevskoe Light Beer
Message MacBoost beers 2074 º places 37 º 07:21 Thu 5/31/2012 This is probably the first one.

Message deftim13 07:24 Thu 5/31/2012 I have had this issue before and Google translate has always been a great asset with these foreign beers.
Message MacBoost beers 2074 º places 37 º 07:26 Thu 5/31/2012 Second one is tougher. Search for Zhigulevskoe and check the labels on the beers in the search results to see if one matches.
Message mjs beers 11413 º places 46 º 08:00 Thu 5/31/2012 Stepan Razin Kalinkin has the same ABV and the names is almost similar. The label on the bottle is completely different but they might just have done a rebadge. FatPhil found the other one: http://beer.indians.ru/?c=ru&beer=bryanskpivo&nr=02 It seems the brewery is missing from the database and therefore the beer, too. Thanks for the help. // Matti
Message FatPhil P beers 26061 º places 995 º 08:05 Thu 5/31/2012 stepan razin brewery disappeared about 8 years ago. the brand did briefly disappear then, but indeed has been resurrected

Message mjs beers 11413 º places 46 º 08:07 Thu 5/31/2012 Just to be more accurate. The other beer is this one: http://bryanskpivo.ru/pivo_zhigulevskoe_svetloe
