For a person, who isn’t familiar with all this, opening a brewery seems to be extremely complicated. http://profibeer.ru/en/beer-tsardom-of-russia/28649/ http://profibeer.ru/en/beer-tsardom-of-russia/28649/ Mon, 24 Oct 2016 09:08:00 +0300 Read in Russian ==> The Profibeer columnist Elena Osokina, interviewed the famous brewer Mikhail Ershov.

Instead of that detailed statistics of breweries were gathered.  In our age of computers, Internet and EGAIS (Integrated State Automated Information System) to find such detailed statistics on brewing is a much more complicated task than 100 years ago. http://profibeer.ru/en/beer-tsardom-of-russia/28635/ http://profibeer.ru/en/beer-tsardom-of-russia/28635/
