Іншае / Other There is nothing in the world like Lidski kvass

I am Canadian and went on a three week vacation to Belarus in August. In the past, I never really liked drinking kvass from Russia, Poland, or Ukraine. Then I tried Lidski kvass. It was the most amazing drink I have ever had. It is all I want to drink now. It is better than any Belgian beer, New York cocktail, or hipster kombucha. I think that this drink alone makes me want to visit Belarus again.

It's really good. Btw, there's something similar in Poland that is called kwas słowiański. It even has the same design.

It's a bad copy, in Poland you could buy original Lidski kwas at the same price

That's a good copy from a firm that lidsky belongs to. Or used to belong, before the sanctions...

Can you buy it in Poland now even with sanctions?

Try Lithuanian kvass. It’s the only kvass that tastes good except Lidski. Gunernija is good. Sold in Canada https://eurofood-delta.square.site/product/bread-kvass-gubernija-500-ml/229?si=true

Is it possible to get it without sugar? I’m diabetic and it seems it has sugar as a second ingredient after water? :/

Yes, Lidski is the best!

I also recommend their kvass with birch sap. Reminds me of cider, except it is non-alcoholic.
