When I was in the Merchant Navy in the 70's before the fall of the commies. I used to regularly run into Klaipeda a the eastern end of the Baltic. The only beer available in the town was Onion Beer and it was absolutely bouff :sick: :sick: :sick:

Interestingly it was dispensed from a machine in the Bakeries and cost 5 kopeks per 500ml. You could get totally wrecked for about 50 kopeks. the Rouble at the time was work about £1. Bakeries in town were the centre of social life, it probably related to the availability of yeast.

But, with a steely resolve and some persistence its amazing how it was possible to get used to it

Yeah I had some in Riga & you are not wrong, its utterly foul. Minging. We were in a pole dancing knocking shop called Velvet & ended up... Er, well I guess y'all don't wanna know about that but in terms of disgusting brews that was #1. I don't ever want to drink it again...
