<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kvass" rel="noreferrer">Kvass</a> is a low alcoholic drink made of (usually rye) bread. Is there something similar in Italy (like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malt_beer" rel="noreferrer">malt beer</a> in Germany)? Or maybe is it possible to buy kvass in big supermarkets? </p>

May be related: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karamalz but I'm not sure. This (German) drink is also popular in Alto Adige / Südtirol, German speaking county in Northern Italy.

@MattAllegro Karamalz is close indeed (it's a sort of malt beer I mentioned in the question) but not the same.

Your best bet is likely to be a Russian/Eastern European store. There are some in many larger Italian cities, search for "negozio russo" or "alimentari russo" in an area you are interested in. Some possibilities:

**Rome**

* "Kozak" - Via dei Conciatori, 1c
* "Galychnya" - Via Santa Maria delle Fornaci, 6

**Verona**

* "Il Negozio Tipico Russo", Via Vincenzo Cabianca, 10

**Cagliari**

* "Алёнушка" - via Francesco Carrara, 22

**Genoa**

* "Angolo dell'Est" Vicolo Canneto il Curto

**Carpi**

* "Europa-Est" - via Trento Trieste 34/a

It may pay to call ahead to see if they carry Kvass, if you can find a phone number.
