This beer shop was located near the hotel and I thought that it would be polite to pop in.
The arrangement here was one that I hadn’t seen before, the beers are listed as usual but the staff fill bottles for takeaway. They can also pour into a glass as a taster to try whilst in the shop. It’s a clever concept and I liked the set-up.
I went for three test beers to decide which one to take away.
They have a selection of cans.
And some deli snacks.
There are the bottles that they put under the taps to pour the beer in.
This is the beer that I opted to purchase, which was the Shavi Zgva from Megobrebi Brewery who are based in Tbilisi. I thought that this was very different, it was complex with carrot juice in it, citrus that cut through with some acidity, some slight orange notes, a fluttering of berries and it poured like a smoothie with some thickness.
I would certainly go back here again, there were some interesting beers and quite a few sours, which is always a delight. The service was friendly, it was an intriguing set-up and the prices were very reasonable given the quality.
