Baltika 3 Classic Beer

Baltika 3 Classic is a flagship pale lager originally launched in 1992 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Since its introduction, it has become one of the most recognizable beer brands in Eastern Europe. The brand was founded by the Baltika Breweries company shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union.

Historically, the brand was part of the Carlsberg Group portfolio for many years. However, following geopolitical shifts in 2023, the Russian state took temporary management control of Baltika Breweries. By late 2024 and heading into 2026, the company operates under the ultimate management of the Russian Federal Agency for State Property Management (Rosimushchestvo), effectively nationalizing the brand's local operations within Russia, while international rights remain complex and contested.
