Near the Livonian border itself, on the "borderland", for more than five hundred years there has been a male Orthodox monastery, originally built in caves. Hence the name - Pechory. In 2012, the monastery was recognized as the "second miracle of Russia". Frequent attacks by enemies turned the monastery into impregnable fortress: it has nine towers and powerful walls.

If you approach business "in a scientific way", then on the holiday of February 23 you can combine business with pleasure: not only have a glass of beer in good company, but also learn the history of brewing in our city. That is what we did by going on the excursion "The Way of Beer in St. Petersburg"! Beer has been in St. Petersburg since its founding: sometimes it substituted for unclean water, because This drink contains vitamins and is useful (in moderation) for health - it was even prescribed in "hospitals" as a remedy for scurvy! However, the history of brewing is even more ancient - beer came to us from Europe. The Czech Republic is a country that is invariably associated with quality brewing. Therefore, it is not surprising that our "Way of Beer" began with a visit to the Czech restaurant-brewery "Stargorod". St. Petersburg "Stargorod" is nestled in the historical center of the city, where narrow streets and lanes are so reminiscent of old Prague. And the brewery's surroundings are appropriate! According to the best Czech traditions, "Stargorod" is not sprayed into a million sorts of beer, but brews only three sorts, which differ in strength and density, but are united in their uniqueness and uniqueness of taste. I was surprised by the fact that the production control is carried out by the Prague Brewing Institute - here they are the invisible eyes of the main brewer of Europe - Prague! Having tasted excellent beer and delicious snacks, we went to knowledge - to the museum of the history of brewing! It is located at the Stepan Razin plant and is the first in Russia museum of beer theme. Here the head of the museum, Galina Vsevolodovna, enthusiastically told us about the culture of consumption and the secrets of creating a drink. We were especially interested in the story of Abraham Friedrich Kron, the court baker of Catherine II, who, with the help of the empress's gift of 30,000 rubles, built a small brewery not far from the Alexander Nevsky Lavra. It is no coincidence that "Nevskoe" beer in St. Petersburg was brewed from Neva water. But Krona's competitor Noy Kazalet, who built his plant near Staro-Kalinkin bridge, used well water, and the beer tasted different from Kronovsky. But the descendants in the middle of the 19th century united the breweries, and the enterprise "Kazalet, Kron and Co" began to develop and expand at the Staro-Kalinkin bridge. We know it better under the name "Stepan Razin". And now several sorts of "Stepan Razin" beer are produced by the international concern "Heineken", the branch of which the enterprise became in 2005. The collection contains more than 600 exhibits. Some of them were found at the factory, others were bought from collectors, and some were donated by other museums. Shown here is a copy of a model of an ancient Egyptian brewery, the original of which is in the Hermitage. One of the most interesting rooms tells about brewing in Russia. Here are the necessary items for brewing - a copper cauldron of the 18th century and hooks, ancient forged scales with the date 1798 and ladles, various bottles and labels, an icon of St. Nicholas - the patron saint of brewing and other exhibits, for example, the manual "How to brew beer at home." with the history of brewing, we went to the famous "Karl and Friedrich" as experts in this area. This is a restaurant with its own brewery, which is located in a picturesque corner of Krestovsky Island. Here we got acquainted with the Bavarian brewing traditions - the brewery produces 4 specialty varieties and several seasonal ones according to the traditional Bavarian recipe in accordance with the Purity of Brewing Ordinance (Reinheitsgebot) of 1516. meat dishes- the famous knuckle, Munich sausages, ribbons of pork ribs and other dishes that go well with beer. It is not surprising that from 2003 to 2012 Karch and Friedrich was the “Best beer restaurant in St. Petersburg”, it is one of the favorite places of the townspeople. And there is also a real Biergarten - a "beer garden" in the best German traditions for 1000 people. In winter, of course, it was not possible to fully enjoy it, but in summer it is undoubtedly a great place to spend an evening in a cozy company in the fresh air.
