Russia places new restrictions on sale and marketing of beer
Restrictions on when and where beer can be sold go into effect Jan. 1 with a law that declared beer is alcohol, not food. Under the new rules, beer can only be sold in licensed outlets — not street kiosks, gas stations and bus depots like it has been. Russians won’t be able to buy it from shops between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m., and beer commercials are a thing of the past.
