A couple of years ago, as I was leaving my mother's house, I was presented with a two litre plastic drinks bottle containing a cloudy brown liquid. She asked me if I would mind giving it to my sister for her garden. It was a slug deterrent. As I drove away an unpleasant smell drifted from the back of my car. The slug liquor had leaked. It had a strange, vaguely fermented malty smell.
As we walked around Brest I noticed a yellow mini tanker on the pavement dispensing a drink. There were several dotted around and judging by the queue it was popular stuff. I had to try some. It tasted like the smell of mum's slug juice. A sort of grainy, wheaty, type taste, not too sweet. I have also tried a dark bottled version which tasted like a very sweet dark beer with no alcohol. I've done the research and it called Kvas. It's made out of rye bread. You can read more here.
Pleased I tried it, won't rush to have it again.
Mike has tried alcohol free beer and he says it tastes very good. Travel never ceases to surprise me. Alcohol free beer? Belarus? Wasn't expecting that.
