Russian brewers reported that a number of chains refused to accept kegs of beer. The problem arose after the requirement for mandatory transmission of information about connecting kegs came into force for stores on January 15.
It is also now possible to transfer data on sales using cash register equipment to the national labeling system “Honest Sign”. On February 14, regional authorities in Russia granted the right to ban the retail sale of beer and other low-alcohol drinks in nalivikas on the territory of their constituent entities.
