Abstract

The article is devoted to an important component of the culture of the Old Believers’ population of Southwestern Altai in the 19th - first third of 20th centuries which is the home brewing traditions. The specificity and nature of drinking beer in the region, the technology ofits preparation are presented, the features of the items of the drinking complex of the Old Believers are described: lagoons and self-made pots (korchags). The article used materials from ethnographic studies of the 19th - first third of the 20th centuries, and items from the stock collections of the East Kazakhstan Regional Architectural, Ethnographic and Natural Landscape Museum-Reserve (Ust-Kamenogorsk, East Kazakhstan). It is concluded that the massive spread of the home brewing tradition was due to the general conservatism of the cultural and everyday foundations of the Old Believers of the Southwestern Altai, the specifics of their religious and festive-ritual complex of events, as well as the period of abstention law which was in force in 1914-1924 .
