Insane UKRAINIAN BBQ & Craft Beer Tour in Odessa, Ukraine

No pork at night. Indian way. What's up everyone this is David Hoffman from David's Bin here coming at you from beautiful Odessa Ukraine. Tonight I'm super excited because I'm taking you on a delicious food and beer tour of this beautiful city. It's 8 p.m right now and we're going to start off at Riberna. Riberna is a place I went to in Lviv. They have a location here. Basically what they do is pork ribs on a rotating grill. Incredible. And they also have craft beer. And from here we're walking to Mash Taproom gastropub like literally a block away and then we're going to try mad delicious craft beers. If you guys don't know about the craft beers in Ukraine you are missing out. They are so good. They're delicious. Let's walk into Riberna. Let's go eat. Yeah and the restaurant is right here next to the main pedestrian street. It's hard to say. It's gonna be right here. Yeah look at this. Live music. Wow. Anatoly. Anatoly. Let's do this. Nice to meet you. And this is it. Riberna. Rotating pork ribs. Can't wait to eat more of it. I told you before this is the coolest experience ever with ribs. I've never seen this before other than the same restaurant in Lviv. The rotating grill right here just keeps going. They keep flipping the ribs and that's what everybody's eating here. They have this. They have a few other things. You have vegetables. They have salads. They have burgers. And they also have amazing sauces. So there's two different sauces right here. I think that's barbecue sauce and honey mustard. I'm like 100% sure. The restaurant's big big big. And they also have a lot of craft beer. Wow look at those ribs. So good. Oh these are the roasted red peppers. Over here what else they got. That burger looks so good. It's endless food here. So think of this more like a like Ukraine barbecue with craft beer. We're talking about craft beer tonight, right? Ukraine craft beer. So they have bottles and they have draft. Here they have Lviv craft beer. Dark ale. IPA. Blanc. I think I'm gonna go with a dark. Dark? What do you think? What do you think? What's your favorite? Zanik. Zanik. Zanik. Zanik. For me dude? Yeah yeah. Awesome. So this is Zanik. Zanik. So what's this? It's light craft beer. Okay. Yeah so it's like a pale ale. It's delicious. I love it. You look like a gangster man. I love your hair. Your hair you're like viking. I'm viking. My man. The best thing about this place is there's no cutlery. They just draw right here and use your hands, right? Yeah. That's it. Ribs. Ribs. Ribs. One portion for you, yeah? Yeah one portion. What for you? Sweet or? Let's go with sweet. Why not? Why not? Amazing. And the grill's right there. Oh what a great spot. It's so cool. Oh yeah. I remember this. Serene ribs. Maybe they'll bring me something else but I really like the ribs. The ribs are so good. Delicious. They're so tender. All smoky. Grill right there. And today I'm alone. Completely alone. I just take it off right here. So good. Right they come. They chop it up with the axe. If you want you can buy it. It's like 150 bucks. Oh so tasty. Sweet. That's how we do it here at Rivera. So what you should do, get one of these and just like drizzle some of this. Oh. Like a sweet and sour barbecue. They literally falling off my hands. They're small. They're not like beefers. Beefers are huge. For me they're both delicious. The best part about any animal, well besides the organs, is the ribs. Any meat touches bone. It's sweeter. Oh this piece, just dip it. I'm so happy right now. Everybody's so nice here. Obviously they treat me like VIP right? I'm VIP. Now you guys know when you come to Odessa and Lviv, you have to come to this spot. What's this? That sauce. No pork and knife. Indian way. I literally just like. Don't worry. Don't be shy. Everybody here's doing the same thing. I could do a full rack easy. You know 12? Very easy. Especially the size. The beef ones. I just did everything. So they give you paper towel on the side obviously. Using your hands you do this. And over here he gave me something else. I have no idea what he gave me. We're gonna try it right now. Oh it's like a salad. Just tomatoes, cheese, looks like pesto. Right there. Tomato. This country has some of the tastiest tomatoes. You know Bulgaria, Balkans in general. They have incredible tomatoes here as well. Wow. Oh my god. So oil, got pesto. I think there's some basil in here. Oh yeah. Amazing palate cleanser. I'm gonna flush it all down with this. Without Ukraine, it is just Ukraine. That's my meal. Ribs all day. Please let me know in the comments what's your favorite ribs. Beef ribs, lamb. Lamb is awesome for me too. I just love lamb. This is potatoes with grill with bacon and eggs. What's your name again? Igor. Igor. Last time I was like on a food tour so I didn't go crazy with all the food. This time I'm going to one spot to eat, the next spot to drink. So I'm going all out. So he said potato on the grill with bacon and egg. And I eat this with my hands and like tomato sauce. Just like dip this. Oh wow. It's like a potato fritter. I think cucumber too. And then.

Bud more to this incredible restaurant. Riberna on the main strip. It's so good. Done it. This place is great for families. It is awesome. Look families everywhere here. Obviously lots of couples. Lots of friends. You can sit outside. You can sit inside. I suggest sitting inside where I'm sitting. There's only two tables here. I'm looking directly at the grill. I can stare at it all day. I'm just I'm in love with watching food being made. Yeah the beer. I'm gonna finish this one. I'm gonna leave that one because I'm going to another beer place right now. Oh this is my jam. Stouts always. Guinness. You introduce me to beer. I love you. Guinness for life. I'm a Guinness lifer. No more food. I know there's dessert coming. This is for you. What's this? All right. Dessert.

We're exiting in a secret way. Let's go to Mashtab room. Yeah. Yeah. Got a VIP escort. This guy is awesome. And this is it. Mashtab room. Let's go inside. Andre. Hello. I'm Andre. This is a Mashtab room. That's a really cool craft beer pub. We have 12 tabs. More than 100 different bottles and cans. So I really would like to see you here in the next couple of months. Cheers guys. All right guys. So we're gonna see what we try. Maybe something on draft. Yeah. What do you have? You have anything dark? You want us to try with something dark? Oh yeah man. What is this? It's chocolate stout. Basically it's a milk stout with the addition of chocolate. It's a Kyiv local brewery. A really nice brewery from Kyiv. They do really nice IPs and stouts. I think it's one of the best breweries in Kyiv. So I hope you will enjoy it. This is chocolate stout. Man. It's like a brownie. A melted brownie right here. And it's light right? Not too high in alcohol? It's like 7.5 maybe. Something like that. So it's not too light. It's good. It's good. I think like you know half pint is really cool to drink. Full pint is gonna be a bit difficult. Yeah. But still it's you know it has a really nice body. Lots of like multi caramelly brownie flavors. Exactly. Really filling though. You drink two of these and you're like ugh. So he has nine Ukrainian beers on top. He has two other ones that aren't from Ukraine. So international beers. And then he also has international beers in cans and bottles right? Yeah. And some of the best. One of them from Estonia he said. Yeah like the Pokhjala. It's a brewery from Estonia. They're like the top brewery in Estonia. And also they have like they're one of the breweries that are like in top 100 trade beer. So like top 100 breweries in the world. So it's an amazing brewery. I really suggest you to try it. So it's from Kharkiv. It's a 10-man brewery. They made pastry sour. It's made with marshmallow, pomegranate and blackberry. So basically a pastry sour. Pastry sour beer. Yeah. So it's like a liquid ice cream. Like a sorbet or something like that. Wow. Yeah so sour. At the same time it's like sweet. It's a marshmallow right? Yeah. So they added marshmallows to the tank. That's crazy. It's almost like a sour marshmallow explosion. I don't even know what to tell you. It's like a little fruity. They're not too not too too sour. They're not sour. They're like almost like oranges you know. This is great. I would say this is the best brewery in the Ukraine right now. I mean they make the best IPAs. They make the best New England IPAs, the best stouts, the best sours. They're amazing. It's called 10 guys. 10 men. 10 men. The name. My guys. 10 men. And that's in east in Kharkiv. Kharkiv. That's in the border up there right? Yeah. I started the map. I haven't been there. Next time I go over there. It's a really nice city. Okay we'll do the hoppy lager and then we do a really nice triple IPA. Hoppy lager and then a triple IPA. It's a brewery from Kyiv and the name of it is Plemya. Plemya translates in English like a tribe and the idea of this brewery that they always make something really cool especially like stouts, sours and IPAs and this one is a really cool New England I would say IPL or something like that and they actually call it like a New England Pilsner. Basically it's an India fell lager. Not too much of hoppy flavors but then the aroma is awesome. It's not as bitter as like you know Czech Pilsner stuff like that but still it has a lot of you know aroma, flavor. I mean that's how I feel about it. I mean I would say that's a beer that I would drink like every day. Okay every day. Well I'm gonna drink it every second. Whoa, it's different. Yeah man so I do feel like it's more like the Pilsner rappel you know but with hops. Yeah the hops here are more flourish like tropical and not really you know like grassy. Yeah it's not like the hops like of an IPA where it's like dank you know like super doubles and it's like too much. This is great and they also have an incredible menu so you can come here and eat as well. It's a gastro club right? So you can try blood sausage here, you can try smorrebrod from Scandinavia, you can try some tacos or you can try fried cucumbers with chili sauce, peanut and honey. That's what he's making right there right now. Yeah he's in progress. Oh man with honey too? It was fermented so you fry it and you add the sauce with the peanut, honey and chili. I swore I wasn't gonna eat any more food. Nice. Oh you know that sauce like the sauce in Korea. Basically that's the idea of the sauce was a mixture of different cultures. So it's sweet and sour and hot at the same time. I lost a piece you know it doesn't really matter. Not done. It's not done. There's a little sip. You never leave your beer unattended. This is a triple. That's a triple IPA. Most people don't know about triples. That's basically the imperial IPA. No? That's actually not imperial. It's a double imperial IPA I would say because it's 10.5% ABV. It's a double dry hop. It's really hazy. Nice. A lot of hoppy flavors. A lot of tropical grassy jointy you know flavors. Danky. Danky. Let's go. That's actually our own import. That's a swedish brewery stick baguette from I guess Göteborg. Yeah from Sweden. Goteborg. Yeah. Those guys they do a really cool American style hazy IPA. I love them. This is like probably one of the best IPAs I've ever had. That's actually the first New England IPA like American style New England IPA that I tried in my life. It was like five years ago. It's too good. I mean the Swedes are doing it better than Americans. What's up with that? It's more of a sessionable. Now look at the hat. Just amazing. I mean it's so I would say like oily but it just it just gives you a really nice mouthfeel. Just you know overwhelms you totally. This is the beer connoisseur right here. What do they call that? Cicerone. Cicerone. I'll be lost in the kitchen here. The girl's doing crazy. Crazy. That's it guys. What a tour. My god. I am full. Too much beer. Oh ribs. Beer. Ribeirne. Ribeirne. You have to go there. Ribs experience. Rotating grill. Just the best. Wow. Plus the beer. Oh and eating with your hands. Nothing like it. Plus all the other stuff right. Potatoes. Tomatoes. So good.
