The Baltika brand was launched in 1992, following the privatisation of the state-owned Baltika Brewery in St Petersburg. The Baltika brand was conceived as a beer of the very highest European quality, brewed in the traditional way. To ensure this aim could be achieved, the brewery's new managers embarked on a major investment and reconstruction scheme that made the Baltika brewery in St Petersburg the most advanced in Russia.
