It is quite good and a couple of the local supermarkets carry it. My excuse for buying it was that the brewery is owned by Carlsberg of Denmark. But given recent events, I will not be buying it anymore, nor any other Russian products (the only other Russian product I see on a regular basis is vodka, but I by far prefer Polish vodka anyway).
