Yak pobachu pyvo, ne proidu mymo. - I will not walk past a beer, when I see it near.

The Ukrainian Village Draught Beer Preservation Society will work to support taverns in Chicago's Ukrainian Village community. There are 29 bars in the neighborhood, liberally defined as the area bounded by Division St., Ashland Ave., Grand Ave. and Western Ave. To pursue the goal of drinking in every bar in this (roughly) square mile, the Society will meet sporadically at various watering holes.

And now a word from our sponsor:

"Beer is popular in Ukraine and the number of devotees is on a steady upward curve. And Slavutych is a brand which, although quite young, has quickly attracted customers because of its excellent properties."

"Why Slavutych? Because it is a world standard natural product. No chemical additives or malt substitutes. People are appreciating its exquisite malt-hops aroma with a mild bitter touch, and the gold-tinted transparency. These qualities are appreciated in Ukraine and far beyond its borders."

"Brewing light beer is considered a top-notch classical technique. It can be stated without exaggeration that beer can be judged by its colour: the lighter the better. Sunlit beer is Slavutych's motto."

SLAVUTYCH'S General Director Petro Peretiatko: "I am sure you will like our new beers."

Budmo! ("May we live forever")
