But this tavern in the heart of the Russian capital Moscow last served beer nearly 300 years ago. When did Vodka get invented?

I hope the beer that was served there was better than the Moskovskaya beer that I had when I was in the Soviet Union in 1972. That was some of the worst beer I have ever drunk—it was even worse than Hamms. And it was ubiquitous. It came in green glass bottles, and everyone drank it warm.
The better eateries served Stella, a beer from Egypt that was far better. Seems Egypt was sending beer to the USSR to pay for all the MiG-21’s, SSN-2 missiles and Kalashnikov rifles the Soviets were sending them to fight the Israelis.

“Other coins come from the rein of Catherine the Great’s son Paul I who reigned from 1796 to 1801.”
Possible the place was destroyed during the brief Napoleonic occupation of Moscow?
