Zhiguli Brewery
Жигулёвский пивоваренный завод
A long-established brewery founded in 1881, with red-brick buildings on the Volga. A window beside the gate sells fresh draft Zhiguli beer.
The Zhiguli Brewery was founded in 1881 by Austrian merchant Franz von Vacano. During the Soviet era, Zhiguli became the most widespread beer brand in the country, and its castle-style red-brick buildings are still in production today. The factory generally does not admit individual visitors. Tourists usually head to the sales window beside the plant, where they can fill bottles with fresh draft beer alongside locals, or sample it at nearby beer halls. The brewery is next to the Iversky Convent and the riverside boulevard, so you can visit all three together.
