Zhiguli Brewery, Federal cultural heritage brewery near Volga River in Samara, Russia.
Zhiguli Brewery is a red brick industrial complex stretching along the Volga riverbank, with multiple production halls and storage areas built into its layout. The facility maintains its original 19th-century structure while continuing to operate as a working brewery.
The brewery was founded in 1881 and became one of the first modern industrial facilities along the Volga River. It received official recognition during the Soviet era for its role in Russia's brewing industry.
The brewery is deeply woven into Samara's everyday life, with its beers being what locals have consumed for generations. The buildings themselves have shaped the identity of neighborhoods around them.
You can buy fresh beer from the brewery shop or have a drink at the on-site pub overlooking the river. The location on the riverbank makes it easy to reach and combine with other waterfront activities.
The brewery still produces beer using methods that are over 140 years old, with certain steps performed by hand rather than machines. This traditional approach gives its beers a distinctive character compared to modern mass production.
