In late 2014, after half a year of construction works, we opened “Pravda” Brewery in the premises of the former TSUM (Central Department Store) on the central square of Lviv. Czech engineering, Belgian consulting, German bottling line, Spanish pouring system, American brewer –  it seems that the whole planet helped us! In half a year after launching, we sent our freshly brewed stout “Vid Syanu do Donu” to Brussels Beer Challenge with no particular expectations – and we got bronze! Later on, there we also got silver and even gold, but the first award is still the most memorable.

Now the Pravda Brewery is located on 24-26 Staroznesenska Stret. We have increased our capacity by 3 times and now we can brew 1.5 million of litres of beer per year.

Despite the fact that in 2021 we turn 7 years old, we feel that we have only started to learn. There are still numerous styles, collaborations, travels and ideas to implement. Ukraine is extremely rich in fruits, berries and spices, so one can create new beer almost every day. 

Thank you for being with us in this endless exciting journey!

95% of beer produced in Ukraine is not actually beer. The product we are used to call that is fobbed off on us by monopolies, the success of which is determined by the proficiency of marketing experts but not brewers.

Our mission is to provide people with the opportunity to drink true beer. We believe that Lviv deserves its own unique style of beer, properly recognized in the world.  

“Pravda” has been created to make the world’s diversity of beer available in Ukraine, too.

That’s why we brew a wide range of beer styles from classics to sours. We believe that every beer should be based primarily on technologic perfection and balance in which the crucial position is occupied by our little partner — yeast, and we are just here to help it do its job. If the base is proper, the beer doesn’t have any defects and inaccuracies, and exotic hops and other spices start doing their job.

Our beer is famous in different countries and continents, and so people get to know about us, Lviv and Ukraine. The labels on our beer bottles convey messages about us across the world.

One more goal of “Pravda” is to create styles that combine various known international styles with specific Ukrainian spirit. For example, “100 Rokiv UNR”, an Imperial Stout infused with smoked pears and prunes, or “Zamkova Gora”, a sour Berliner Weisse with elderflower.
