Vasily & Petrov's Imperial Stout

This Russian Imperial Stout is named in honor of two different Russian military men who deserve plenty of honor.

Stanislav Petrov was a Soviet Air Defense Lieutenant Colonel who judged reports of US missiles being launched against the USSR to be false alarms in 1983. He disobeyed orders and did not report the alarm.

Vasily Arkhipov was a Soviet Naval officer who prevented the launch of nuclear torpedo in 1962 during the Cuban missile crisis. After not hearing from Moscow for an extended period, other officers on board had thought war had broken out, but Vasily would not sign off on the order. Show Less
