Brewery news

Russia’s largest beer maker Baltika Breweries announced on May, 24 it has sent its first shipment of beer to Costa Rica.

The supply contract was concluded at the Expocomer 2010 international commercial exhibition, held in Panama City in March. The Russian brewing industry was represented for the first time at this exhibition by Baltika’s range of products.

In addition to Costa Rica and Panama, Baltika Breweries has been supplying other countries in the Caribbean area, including Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Cuba, for a long time. The company’s products are represented on the markets of eight countries throughout Latin America. Overall sales volumes for the region exceeded 250,000 litres in 2009.

In Costa Rica, Baltika №7 Export and Baltika №0 Non-alcoholic beers will be sold in 0.5 litre glass bottles. The first shipment was for more than 14,000 litres. The assortment may be expanded in the future, Baltika said.

Baltika sales will be concentrated primarily in the bars and restaurants on the country’s Caribbean coast. The average price for a 0.5litre bottle of Baltika will be around $2.
