Rospotrebnadzor and the Union of Russian Brewers (PSA; the alliance includes 92 companies that produce over 80% of beer in the country) did not respond to RBC's request. Rosalkogolregulirovaniye refrained from commenting. The same was done in the brewing companies Baltika, AB InBev Efes and Heineken.

controversial method

The method of identification of beer, which Roskachestvo proposes to supplement with GOST, has already caused dissatisfaction in the industry. In the middle of the year, Roskachestvo, as part of the execution of the government's order, conducted a large-scale check of beer in Russia. 40 of the most popular brands of light filtered beer (Heineken, Stella Artois, Bud, Krusovice Imperial, Amstel) became its objects.

The results of the study "Roskachestvo" on the eve of the World Cup. Experts determined which of the brands participating in the test can be considered classic beers, depending on their malt content.

What counts as beer

According to the law (No. 171 FZ “On state regulation of the production and circulation of ethyl alcohol, alcoholic and alcohol-containing products”), part of the brewing malt in beer can be replaced by grain, products of its processing or sugar-containing products. But beer (according to paragraph 13.1 of article 2 of the law) can only be considered a drink that contains at least 80% malt. The share of unmalted raw materials should not exceed 20%, sugar-containing products - 2% of the mass of the replaced brewing malt. By law, alcohol in Russia must meet the requirements of the state standard. These include GOST (31711-2012 "Beer. General specifications") and TU (technical specifications).

As a method that may indicate a violation of the proportions of raw materials in beer, Roskachestvo specialists used an estimate of the mass concentration of total nitrogen (its compounds are found in malt). In case of non-compliance with the standards for this indicator, the experts concluded that the manufacturer "could save on fermented malt" in Roskachestvo. Five brands of beer (Arsenalnoye, Okskoye, Gorkovskoye, Sverdlovskoye and Samara) did not pass this stage of the study. According to Roskachestvo, it is more correct to call such beer “rather a beer drink”, and, therefore, now such products are misleading consumers.

Compared to substitutes, malt is a more expensive raw material. The excise rate for beer and beer drink does not change depending on the raw materials used in their production - 21 rubles. per liter with an ethanol content of 0.5 to 8.6%.

Representatives of the beer industry criticized the study. Of the five brands that did not pass the test, four (Gorkovskoye, Classical Samara, Sverdlovskoye, Arsenalnoye Traditional) were Baltika's brands. In Baltika itself, they answered that the GOST 31711 (“Beer. General Specifications”), which is mandatory for brewers, does not mention the mass fraction of nitrogen and this is an additional criterion that Roskachestvo independently established. In no country in the world is the quality of beer assessed by such an indicator, Baltika pointed out.

The research materials were prepared "with gross violations and actually mislead consumers", and in the Union of Russian Brewers. Serious errors in the study are the result of Roskachestvo's lack of "professional knowledge and experience in brewing," the brewers noted. The deviations in nitrogen found in some brands and conclusions about the raw materials and quality of beer were considered by the union as "a violation of the rights of both producers and consumers." Roskachestvo, the brewers explain their position, presents as an expert opinion data on the basis of which the product belongs to another category, but it "does not have the authority to make such conclusions." In general, the PSA expressed doubts about the methodology of Roskachestvo: according to the union, it is not transparent and regulated by authorized state bodies.​

How GOSTs change

The attempt to change GOST to beer is not the only one. In mid-July, it was known that the government intends to ban manufacturers from calling products by the names fixed in GOSTs if they do not meet these standards. This measure should also reduce the share of "legal counterfeit". Roskachestvo drew the attention of the public to the fact that there are outwardly identical goods on the market with the same names, but with a fundamentally different composition, depending on whether they are made according to GOST or TU (technical specifications). “With two saving letters TU”, a number of manufacturers of sprats in oil and milk chocolate actually “saved themselves of the need to comply with quality parameters,” Roskachestvo pointed out.

GOST problem

Certified methods to determine the amount of products that replace brewing malt are not included in GOST, so it is impossible to recognize producers of beer drinks who call their product beer as violators of the law, states Roskachestvo. According to experts cited by ANO, if changes are made to GOST, about 5% of the market may move into the category of beer drinks. The volume of beer production in Russia in 2017 amounted to 744.5 million decalitres. In value terms, according to the IndexBox Russia study, beer consumption increased by 10.3%, amounting to 800.3 billion rubles.

Neither experts nor market participants have yet raised the question of the need to change the current GOST, RBC's source in the alcohol market indicates. Roskachestvo's proposal to change GOST, apparently, was the result of an earlier study of the beer market, which raised a number of questions from its players: significant mistakes were made both in the process of the examination itself and in interpreting its results, he notes. “Despite the stated goals of promoting a voluntary quality mark, Roskachestvo, under the veil of its belonging to the state, is trying to replace the existing regulatory and certifying bodies,” adds RBC’s interlocutor.

According to the top manager of the company, which is one of the three largest beer producers in Russia, the problem on which the Roskachestvo initiative is based is absolutely far-fetched and “not worth a damn”. The interlocutor of RBC estimates the prospect of passing this initiative "somewhere below 0%."

Controversy over control

The research methods used by Roskachestvo have already been complained about by participants in other markets. For example, controversy arose around a school uniform test, the results of which were published in early August. According to its results, it was found that more than 60% of school trousers were produced with violations. In the correctness of the verification, sellers of clothing and even Rospotrebnadzor. Roskachestvo's information misleads consumers, said the Moscow department of Rospotrebnadzor, since the organization, without waiting for the results of control and supervision measures, gives incorrect information to the media. Department specialists checked 12 enterprises where Roskachestvo purchased samples for research: no enterprises were found at six addresses, and out of 21 samples taken from other six enterprises, only one did not comply with the technical regulations. In Roskachestvo, the fact that Rospotrebnadzor did not find violations when checking school uniforms was due to the fact that the department checked the manufacturers of uniforms that had a state quality mark. “It is not surprising that the inspection of manufacturers of high-quality goods did not reveal violations in them,” the organization commented.
