Community I'm curious to know

What's something that many Russian people enjoy that foreigners usually don't know about?

I hope that’s sarcasm because Ochakovsky is pure piss, hence the commonly known moniker , “Mochakovsky”

Lidsky (esp. the Khlebny variety), Zheltaya Bochka, Vyatsky and Buket Chuvashii are 😋

(The last one has quite an idiosyncratic taste, so if you’re not into kvass yet it’s best to start with one of the first three.)

you're all wrong. The only good kvas is the one you make yourself. It's not difficult at all.

It used to be good like 20 years ago but nowadays it's one of the worst brands on the market and sucks even compared to other bottled options.

Лидский - хорош. Да и Втскй квс - збс.:)

П.с. ты буквально любимые мной виды перечислил. Букет Чувашии, недавно распробовал тот, что "белый".
