| Astika is a Sanskrit adjective meaning "believing" or "one
who believes in the existence (of God, of another world, etc.) If the beer is
named in order to refer to this old word, I do not know, but who does not
believe in beers? The brewery of Haskovo is situated in southern Bulgaria. The
Astika brand has a leading position in the Bulgarian premium segment. According
to the brewery they draw on "the best deep-lying water in Thrace". Together with
market leader Kamenitza, Haskovo is owned by InBev. |
