Chișinău Beer

Chișinău Beer (Bere Chișinău) is a Moldovan beer brand produced at the Efes Vitanta Moldova Brewery in Chișinău, Republic of Moldova. The brand is owned by the Turkish brewing company Efes Beverage Group, and its official website presents it as a Moldovan beer made for authentic moments among friends, promoting products, promotions, events and a brewery tour ("Turul Berii"). According to Romanian-language reference material, beer production under the Chișinău brand began in Chișinău in 1873, giving the brand a long local heritage. The product range includes classic lagers and stronger and non-alcoholic variants: Chișinău classic (4.5% ABV, 11% original gravity), Chișinău Draft (5.0% ABV, 12% gravity), Chișinău Specială Tare strong beer (7.0% ABV, 16% gravity), Chișinău non-alcoholic blond beer, and Chișinău Ultra mild blond beer (4.5% ABV). The brand operates primarily in the Moldovan market and is tied to the Efes Vitanta Moldova Brewery, a local brewing operation controlled by Efes Beverage Group. Its marketing emphasizes friendship, local Moldovan identity and everyday drinking occasions, supported by promotional campaigns and events such as "Chișinău la Tank". As a product brand within a larger international brewing group, Chișinău Beer combines a historic local brewing tradition with the distribution and management resources of Efes. The brand remains active and is promoted through its official website and related social and event activities.

Beer production under the Chișinău brand is documented as beginning in Chișinău in 1873, according to Romanian-language reference material. This makes Chișinău one of the older beer names associated with the city and with Moldova's brewing tradition. In the modern era, the brand is produced at the Efes Vitanta Moldova Brewery, a Moldovan brewing company owned by the Turkish Efes Beverage Group. The Efes group connection places Chișinău Beer within an international brewing portfolio while retaining its local Moldovan identity and production base in Chișinău. The brand has been maintained as a mainstream Moldovan beer, with a product line that has expanded beyond classic lager to include draft-style beer, a strong beer (Specială Tare), a non-alcoholic blond beer and a mild blond beer (Ultra). Its official website promotes the brand with the tagline "Mereu între prieteni" (Always among friends) and highlights products, promotions, events and a brewery tour, indicating ongoing consumer marketing and tourism-oriented activity around the brand.
