Tip 2: How did the "Zhigulevskoe" beer
Today "Zhigulevskoe" beer is the mostpopular and recognizable brand. Beer with this name is produced at many enterprises in Russia and the countries of the former USSR. And where did this name come from, why exactly "Zhigulevskoe" and not "Volga" or "Don" beer became a symbol of the USSR?
The history of this popular brandbegan in 1880, when in Samara province it was decided to allocate a place for the construction of a brewery on the bank of the Volga. Austrian Alfred von Wakano began construction on a large scale. The lease period was 99 years. The scale of construction is evidenced by the fact that later in this brewery, the first power station in Samara was built.
In 1881 beer production began. Alfred von Wakano called it "Vienna", it subsequently became "Zhigulevsky". Business at the enterprise was not bad. In the first year, the brewery produced 75,000 buckets of intoxicating beverage, and by the beginning of the First World War, the plant's products were supplied to 60 cities of the Russian Empire and the enterprise's productivity increased to 2,500,000 buckets per year.
The plant was called "Zhigulevsky", but beerthis name was not produced here. After the revolution of 1917 the enterprise was nationalized, and Alfred von Wakano left for his historic homeland.
Zhigulevsky brewery became one of thelargest enterprises in the USSR. It is believed that the name "Zhigulevskoe" was invented by the People's Commissar of Food Industry Anastas Mikoyan, who in 1934 visited the enterprise and expressed his bewilderment: why Samara produces "Viennese" beer. It was then that beer produced at this plant, and began to be called "Zhigulevsky." In the USSR this name has gained immense popularity. "Zhigulevskoe" beer brewed more than 700 breweries in the country.
