Baltika 5


On this day in 1991 the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) was dissolved by the Congress of People’s Deputies.  This and other events have opened the way for commerce between our nation and the several countries of the former Soviet Union.  Although hardly imaginable to me when I was growing up in the Cold War years, beer from Russia is now available in Iowa.

#5 a not so special light lager, but it gets me well on the way to having a page for each of the beers in the Baltika series.
