New brewery-restaurant "Arena" was opened in Kiev. Brewery are located in the very center of Ukrainian capital in the new office and shopping building "Mandarin-Plaza" in front of Bessarab market. Restaurant are decorated very rich and you can see brewing equipment beyond transparent wall. A lot of my friends are visiting "Arena" to see football matches. Restaurant hall is very good equiped for it with a legion of TV monitors. From the any place you can see at list couple of monitors.

"Arena" is brewing four beer grades: "Arena Weiss", "Arena Pils", "Arena Pils Filtered" and "Arena Bock". In order to try all four grades it is possible to order taster set of 0,1 liter glasses. The price for the set is 2,5 US dollars. In general prices here is "biting": cost is depending on beer grade from 2,7 to 3,3 US dollars. For each grade original shape glass is using. I tried to buy proprietary glass. Unfortunately it is impossible.

Brewery bottlong beer in 5 liter cans also. Can is alone for all grades with very simple label where mentioned only grade and date of bottling. Can's cost is also very high about 50 US dollars.
