Molotov cocktail-making brewers from Ukraine arrive in Ireland for Sligo beer festival

As well as being known for their award-winning brews, Pravda also have a reputation for political messaging on their labels.

BEERMAKERS FROM A Ukrainian brewery are bringing their wares to the Hagstravaganza beer festival in Sligo this weekend. The trip to Ireland’s west coast offers the brewers a welcome respite from the air raid sirens and power outages that have become the norm across Ukraine.

When Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February last year, the immediate defences were largely improvised and lacked top-down military control as many civilians found ways to help the war effort.

Pravda Brewery in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv found a new use for their beer bottles in the early days of the war – Molotov cocktails. 

Molotov cocktails, also known as petrol bombs, are improvised incendiary devices, usually made by filling a glass bottle with flammable liquid and stuffing it with a cloth fuse. 

Originating in Finland, they were named after former Soviet foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov, who was the subject of ridicule among Finns during the Winter War of 1939, when the USSR invaded its neighbour. 

The company’s export manager Andriy Korol spoke to The Journal about what it’s like to go on working as normal in less-than-normal circumstances. With airports shut across Ukraine, he and his colleagues had to take an indirect route to get here.

“We drove to Krakow in Poland and then flew to Ireland, so it was a bit of a trip,” he says. 

Lviv has managed to avoid the worst of the fighting, most of which is focused on the front in the east of the country, so Pravda’s bombs were not needed in the end and the brewers have since gone back to doing what they do best – making beer. 

“Fortunately we did not have to use them in our town. Lviv is in the very west of Ukraine, so it’s one of the safer areas right now, but at the beginning we just didn’t know what was going to happen. 

“We were ready for tanks to come into our city and our military was not ready at the time so we were kind of creating a civilian defence, studying how to make Molotov cocktails and how to use them.” 

This, he says, was not at the instruction of the government or military but done on their own initiative. 

“At the beginning, it was chaos. As a brewery, we decided ‘we have lots of bottles, so let’s do that’.” 

Making improvised explosives also seemed like a good use of the company’s resources because in the early days of the war there was a prohibition on alcohol in Ukraine. 

This didn’t stop Pravda from getting beer made though, as they published their recipes and asked for beermakers around the world to produce it for them. A proportion of the money made from that was sent to aid people fighting on the front lines. 

As well as being known for their award-winning brews, Pravda also have a reputation for political messaging on their labels. 

One example is their ‘Putin Huylo’ beer, the name of which translates to ‘Putin is a Dick’. It was first released back in 2014 when Russia first invaded Crimea in eastern Ukraine and it is the brewery’s best-selling beer internationally. 

“We have other labels. We’ve done that over the years. We’ve always tried to push the envelope and be provocative in our messaging,” he explains. 

Since the chaotic beginnings of the war, things have settled down to some degree but this is partly because the sights, sounds and hardships of the conflict have become somewhat normalised for people across Ukraine. 

“Last winter for example, we had problems with electricity. We were losing electricity 50% of the time.” 

Power outages can ruin the brewing process, which takes hours. Another thing that disrupts life for working people in Lviv is the sound of air raid sirens.

“We have our air raid alerts, that’s where we’ve got to go to the shelters. Yesterday there were five of them (in Lviv).

“Well, what can we do? We keep working. We can’t afford to be going to the shelter every air raid so unfortunately we have to take the risk. It’s necessary to keep working, and that’s not just for a brewery, that’s most Ukrainians who are in a situation like that.” 

The air raids, while disruptive, have become a normal and exhausting part of life during the war, he says. 

“I have three children and we have to wake up at 2 or 3am and get all the kids down to the bomb shelter, wait there for  few hours and go back, and then we’ve got to go again. It’s a stressful living situation.

“And then you have work to go to… but most Ukrainians are powering through it. It’s become a norm after a year now.”

“As a brewery or as any business… if we don’t keep going then our economy falls apart.” 

Some of the Pravda staff have gone further than just keeping the business going though, with a number of male employees travelling to fight on the front lines. 

“We definitely have a number of people that are on the front and we always try to take care of our people first in terms of what their needs are. We keep in touch. If they need certain equipment or things like that, we put our money up for that.

“Luckily we haven’t had any casualties.” 

The trip to Ireland is a break from the day-to-day environment of the war, even though it’s never far from their minds. 

“It’s nice not listening to air raid sirens all the time. Everything that sounds like a siren to us, even when we’re not in Ukraine, we’re like, ‘air raid siren’?” 

The Hagstravaganza festival takes place in Ballymote in south Co Sligo this Saturday.

    The propaganda is off the scale, Ukrainian beer with a name linked to the burning of 48 people in 2014?, Seriously?

    meanwhile in the real world, the Ukrainian offensive has collapsed on their north east flank, with massive gains by Russian forces, threatening Kupyansk and leading to an evacuation of 53 settlements, plus the 1.5 ton FAB ( forward aerial bomb ), normal gravity bomb, fitted with fins that hit a command post and routed a kilometre long trench, in Ukrainian defensive lines, Russia is storming Ukrainian defenses all along the northern flank, while Ukrainian forces run into a concrete wall, attacking the south, 0.2 % of Russian controlled territory in 9 weeks.
    This has to stop, and before anyone starts Russia won’t,
    I’m stating hard facts, devoid of emotion

    Folk should look up what Pavel Ryabov, Dr of Physics & Mathematics, professor of Finance based in Moscow, said: “the rouble is clearly classified” as being in “a collapse.” He goes on to describe the ways to save the rouble. Personally I am hoping it tanks and drags the Russians out of a war they wont be able to sustain.

    And NATO forces can’t get there in time,.

    The Journal’s comments section really has become a total cesspool.

    15 rules of Russian disinformation
    1. Deny it.
    2. Accuse others of what you do yourself.
    3. Demonize your victim.
    4. Practice the victim role, even if you are clearly the perpetrator.
    5. Know your target audiences.
    6. When unable to convince, confuse.
    7. Spread not just one but many lies to create as much confusion as possible.
    8. Motivate others to spread your lies.
    9. Ridiculous propaganda helps make your more subtle lies appear more legitimate.
    10. If it gets tough to deny, use whataboutism.
    11. Amplify all voices that support your narratives.
    12. Repeat your narratives as many times as possible so that your audience can parrot them.
    13. Be aware that less informed people are more vulnerable to disinformation.
    14. When your fabricated content triggers emotions, people will spread it even more.
    15. Make your audience feel special, in the sense that they are well-informed, while others are just “decadent Western sheep”.

    @Daniel O’Neill: Well said. So much propaganda makes lame reading, certainly.

    It’d cost a fortune for one of those cocktails in temple-bar. Such an absolute waste

    So,

    Varadkar and Martin are supporting people who use petrol bombs to achieve political aims, are they?

    Quite a U-Turn that!

    Nestor,
    “Varadkar and Martin are supporting people who use petrol bombs to achieve political aims, are they?”
    Politics, like beauty, appears to lie in the eye of the beholder.

    Squash a cockroach, you’re doing good.
    Whack a butterfly, you’re evil.

    Wow, about 50 people were burned to death in that trade union building, some were kicked to death by a mob after they tried to jump out to escape. They make a beer celebrating this event. Actually it makes sense as it was a seminal moment in the formation of a new more vicious nationalism in Ukraine.
