My afternoon started at the Dargett Brewery about 20 minutes outside of Yerevan. Dargett Brewery is the number one brewing company in Armenia. I’d visited their facility in Yerevan the previous night. Then, we’d head out to Lake Sevan!
At this facility, my guide Lusine and I started by checking out their malts and learning about their six-barrel system. Next, it was time to try some beer directly from the tanks.
I started with a Pale Ale, which had a nice head and was perfect for the heat outside. It was light and light on the hops. Next was a Belgian-style triple, a delicious German Pilsner.
Next, we went to the bottling room. They bottle all of their 7 core beers here and send them to restaurants and supermarkets all over Armenia.
Then, I got to try their exclusive Armenian Imperial Stout. It’s 10% alcohol and has been aged in brandy barrels. It had a nice and had a nice head. It was strong but delicious!
Then, we headed to Lake Sevan, which is about 35 minutes away. It’s located 1,900 meters above sea level in the Gegham Mountains.
We climbed 245 steps to the top of the peninsula, where we get a great view of the lake. Along the way, I saw a typical Armenian cross-stone carving called a khachkar. On it was an Armenian-style cross, a tree of life, and more!
At the top of the stairs are two beautiful churches of the Sevanavank Monastery, a 9th-century monastic complex. I loved the gorgeous view of the lake and the mountains. It’s one of the largest high-altitude lakes in the world.
Inside one of the churches is another khachkar. There are thousands of them in Armenia, but this one is unique because it’s one of only 4 that have Jesus Christ carved on them. There were also lots of figures, symbols, writing on them. You shouldn’t touch them, though!
Outside are the ruins of the Spiritual Educational Center, where the monks of Sevanavank Monastery lived. Only the foundations are left.
On our way back down the stairs, I couldn’t help but admire the beautiful peninsula and the valley. The church closes at 6 p.m., so you shouldn’t arrive later than 5 p.m. But now it was time to go have some Armenian crayfish kebabs after our monastery tour of Lake Sevan!
At the bottom of the hill is Ashot Erkat Restaurant. They have a huge dining hall with incredible views overlooking the lake. I went back to the kitchen, where I saw them making barbecue fish and crayfish kebabs. They use crayfish tail meat only and wrap it in lavash. I couldn’t wait to eat them!
The house wine was really nice! I loved the crayfish kebab. It was made of minced crayfish tail meat. I got it plain, without ketchup or onions. The crayfish tail meat and lavash was such an amazing combination! Crayfish are almost like small, gamy lobster. It was so good, but I couldn’t eat it all because I had dinner to eat later!
What an epic afternoon that took me from Dargett Brewery to having Armenian crayfish kebabs after touring a medieval monastery on Lake Sevan! It was such a fun day and it still wasn’t over yet!

Love your videos. Love the way you genuinely enjoy the food, the people, the sights. But pleeeease ask someone how to correctly pronounce Yerevan----Yeh-reh-von not Ye-rev-en. You do a great job saying much more difficult words in Armenian so I know this will be easy for you. Thanks for your great videos and wonderful spirit. Lusine is terrific.
Great series dude . I like your style ... going off the tourist path ... keep on trucking ! 😎
I love Armenia - it is one of the oldest countries of the world, I like Armenian Arstakh also. greetings from Germany! A very good program is this, thanks!
LOVE😍 Armenia and Armenian food!🔥😎
Best Episode - Amazing Food, Especially the Beer !!
NIce to see Dargett Brewery making world class beer! Keep it up!
Armenia foods really incredible foods👍👊🤸♀️🍩🎈
They copy Azerbaijani food
@@GasimovTV imagine a 4000 year old country that's on the worlds oldest map stealing from a country who only showed up on maps in 1918...really sad how you try to distort history because you have none.
Who's stealing what ? You say your turk so why does azerbaijan celebrate persian zoroastrian new year ? Why are they shia like iranians and not sunni like turks ? If they are such an ancient race why did they never have their own alphabet and had to change theirs 4 times 🤦♂️😄
Please stop emberassing yourself 🤭
@@W1DN173 How can you copy Lahmacun and say it is Armenian national food. Lahmacun is a turkish food. Azerbaijan is much older than you think. Who were the safavids, aq qoyunlu and qara qoyunlu. Yerevan was a part of Azerbaijan before. If you do not believe me watch Azerbaijan's history video.
@@GasimovTV Turkish food in Turkey is similar to Greek, Armenian, and Arabic good, and more different from actual Turkic nations in Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan. Whom influenced whom? Do you think people ate nothing before you conquered them? Ridiculous. Armenia was mentioned in wars and treaties with Rome, Persia before it was Iran, and even Assyria when they were a nation. But I know, history is Turkey and Azerbaijan's weakest subject, since you are both Orwellian states, trying to rewrite and erase the past.
But sure, call Assyrian tablets, Roman documents, and Persian records, "liars" as well for recording their interactions with Armenia. I mean, that fits with your other rhetoric. The world did not begin until the year 1923 after all, in your minds.
🇦🇲🙋👍 *Yummi armenian foods, i like armenian dishes.Welcome at any time.*
Hi David. Great videos. Are you planing to see wings of Tatev?
I think I said this on another video, but Dargett is SO GOOD. I cannot wait to go back!
IF SOMEONE ASK ME - 'WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST SECOND ALTERNATE NAME FOR ARMENIA?'.
I REPLY 'BEERMANIA'.
Armenia becomes bio food "Mecca" - In addition safe and secure land.
