"Lakinsky" - beer from the Russian outback

Fans of the foamy drink are familiar with the product called "Lakinsky". Beer of this brand since 1966 is produced at the eponymous factory, located in one of the small towns of the Vladimir region.

Brand History

In a small village on the bank of the river Undolki in the seventies of the last century, Russian consumer cooperation opened a small enterprise for the production of beer.

The capacity of the plant was relatively small. He supplied his products mainly to nearby regions. "Lakino" beer was in those years was in sufficient demand. He was respected for good taste and excellent quality. This was due to the fact that natural mineral water was used for the production of the drink, which is still being extracted from an artesian well located directly on the territory of the enterprise. After a difficult period of survival in the distant nineties, at the beginning of the two-thousand began to increase production capacity. New lines for bottling products were launched. Now "Lakinsky" beer is produced not only in glass containers with a capacity of 0.5 liters, but also in kegs and PET bottles of 1.5 and 2.0 liters.

The range also expanded. If earlier the representatives of this brand were only "Lakinsky" beer: Original, 21st Century, Anniversary, Classical and Light, a few years later there appeared new varieties: Lux, Golden, BOOMER "and" 33 region ". Over time, the local plant was acquired by a well-known group of companies "Rudo", and from the beginning of 2008 it is already considered to be its branch.

Customer Reviews

Thanks to the new owner, we learned about beer from the Vladimir region in many cities of Russia. Now it can be found even on the shelves of stores in Moscow and St. Petersburg. True, not everything is as good as it would be. Despite the positive feedback from specialists, many people still do not risk buying Lakinskoye beer. Reviews about this product in the people are not absolutely flattering. Many believe that merging with a large corporation did not go well for the product.

Although the technology of its production provides for natural fermentation, due to which the product completely retains minerals and other useful substances. A fine-tart aroma and pleasant bitterness to the product is given by the selected malt and the famous Czech hops. But the majority of buyers agree that all this was typical for beer from Lakinsk of past years. Now it has become watery and bitter. And the head for some reason in the morning hurts in earnest. Pleases only the price, which is kept at the lowest level.

Known brand

Beer "Lakinsky Original" began to be produced from the beginning of the opening of the plant. This is one of the oldest varieties, which is still produced at the enterprise. For this, malt, artesian water, hops, rice and sugar are used. The result is a product with an alcohol content of 4.7 percent. On technological features this is a lighter camp, obtained by the method of bottom fermentation, so that the drink acquires an individual pleasant taste and a characteristic delicate aroma. This beer is produced, usually in bottles of glass for half a liter and goes on sale at a very reasonable price.

Currently, it is considered the best of what the local brewers have created for the entire existence of the plant. This product can rightly be considered a visiting card of the enterprise. It fully corresponds to the long-standing traditions of quality and continues the history of the famous Lakinsky plant, which, after reconstruction, has a kind of second wind.
