Last time I went to Russia (Saratov) I had couple of bottles of russian beer. It's not that bad, I had grade 3 and 4 beers and apparently they go up to 15. My girlfriend tells me that the higher the number, higher the strength. Offlicences (liquor stores) appear to offer 95% different kinds of vodka the other 5% split between wine and beer.

It truly is a small world! The first time I ever went to Russia a long long time ago when I was a kid, the first Russian person I tried talking to was born in north London, really close to where I live! I was shocked!
I look forward to my next visit to Saratov.
I agree that uk but especially Czech beers are best, but maybe I'm not the best judge as I have no sense of smell which means my sense of taste isn't too great either!

Damn, I was born in Saratov. The world is so small for two of us, you know...

Hmmm... I can't agree with you on its quality in general. Personally, I think Russian beer sucks, especially after British and Czech sorts.
Moreover, frozen beer is no longer beer. Try freezing it in your fridge (of course, never freeze a glass bottle).
They ARE heroes though, bless those lads.

Don't worry, Czech beers smell as good as they taste. Best beer I've ever had.
