From craft beer to Molotov cocktails: Ukrainian brewery joins war effort

 

A Ukrainian craft beer brewery has converted its bottling facilities to a petrol bomb factory, making Molotov cocktails that can be thrown at Russian tanks.

The Pravda Brewery in the western city of Lviv is using bottles of a beer it already makes called Putin Huilo, which translates roughly as "Putin the d----head".

It first started making the beer in 2014 as a protest against Russia's annexation of Crimea.

On Sunday, in what is perhaps the ultimate act of guerrilla marketing, the brewery said it was using the same bottles to make stashes of Molotov cocktails for Ukrainian self-defence militias.

"Right now, nobody is drinking much beer anyway because of the war, so we decided to use the bottles to make Molotovs instead," said Juri Zastavniy, the manager of Pravda.
