“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov

In our exploration of the world of “Functional Beers,” we’ll ask what beer could be good for and explore some innovative beers and trends, and to tap things off, we'll start with Volodomyor Krustov from Kyiv:
"Mr. Krustov, we understand you've been brewing a highly popluar..."
"Kraustoy."
"Excuse me?"
"Kraus, nyet Krus."
"Yes, yes, of course. But word 'round the bloc is your drink has become highly fashionable of late."
"Yes... sure, yes. Especially since we add the wick."
"The wick?"
"Wick, yes... strip of trouser or swveter... stuff in top, light the bottle."
"So, a flaming beer then?"
"Yes! Yes! Beir of flame for thirsty Russian! Wery functional."
Functional indeed. Reporting from Kyiv for beerconnisseur.com, I'm Bradly Alewine. Back to you Bud.
