Red Bear ("Krasniy Medved") is the first brewery on Svalbard that was open in 2012. There are only two breweries on the archipelago and the second one was open in Longyearbyen in 2015. Since 1928 there have been “a dry law” on Svalbard meaning that you could buy an only limited volume of hard alcohol. Until 2014 it had been forbidden to produce alcohol drinks including beer stronger than 2.5 degrees so the first beer in Red Bear was brewed in less than 2.5 degrees. s.
The brewery has a complete production cycle: beginning with malt grinding and up to refinery procedure and maturation without the use of semi-products, artificial additives, conservant and pasteurizers.
Belgian equipment of the company CoEnCo, English malt, high fermentation yeast, and water from the glacial lake Stemme – these are all ingredients of the beer Red Bear.

According to the old Soviet Arctic tradition, polar explorers and sailors of the Northern fleet and civil vessels operating in the Arctic used alcohol to entertain the spirit. Pure alcohol 96 degrees. Drinking it in its pure form is a hell of a story. Therefore, the alcohol was diluted with water. Usually down to a degree of vodka - down to 40°.
The Arctic has its own traditions. Here the alcohol used to be diluted to a degree of latitude. In the Arctic circle, they drank alcohol diluted to 66-67° revolutions, in Murmansk - to 69°... Barentsburg is located at 78° North. Tradition must be honored!
Only for strong men and Arctic ladies! Drink in one gulp! Have a snack with the drink! The bartender is not responsible for the consequences!
