‘Miensk 1918’. Lida brewery’s new release on occasion of big historical anniversary
The new beer ‘Miensk 1918’ completes the series of products dedicated to the 950th anniversary of the Belarusian capital. It was first mentioned in chronicles on 3 March, 1067.
“On 25 March 1918, the Belarusian People’s Republic was proclaimed, and Minsk became its capital. We hope there will be more fine dates in the history of the beloved city. Happy birthday, Minsk,” Lida Beer company said on Facebook.
Earlier, the brewery presented ‘Miensk 1067’ and ‘Miensk 1499’.
The Belarusian People’s Republic came into existence at the end of the First World War, when Bolshevik forces left Minsk and the city was occupied by German troops. On March 25, 1918 the Provisional Government (Rada) proclaimed the independence of the BNR. After the Red Army re-entered Minsk, the Communist government replaced the Rada; its members had to emigrate.
