Gletcher Ausweis Weissbier

Gletcher Ausweis is a wheat beer (Weissbier/Hefeweizen) brewed by the Gletcher Brewery. Despite its distinctly German brand name "Ausweis" (meaning ID or passport) and traditional Bavarian styling, the product is actually brewed in Russia. The brewery was established in 2011 in the city of Klin, located in the Moscow region. It was founded by a team of enthusiasts who aimed to introduce high-quality craft brewing and European beer traditions to the Russian market.

While the brand emphasizes German heritage using ingredients such as German malts from the Avangard malthouse and Slovene hops, it remains a product of Russian craft industry. The brewery itself is owned by the SVAM Group, a prominent Russian distributor and producer in the beverage sector. The name 'Gletcher' (German for 'Glacier') reflects the founders' personal interest in skiing and the use of modern European equipment in their production facility.
