Last time I've visited Holy Cross Mountains there was a shop which sold kvass, but it was some proper shit. It was sold in small glass bottles, but it basically tasted like a light beer, none of this dark burned taste of the shit you find in the market. I should visit that place this year when the weather gets better. Otherwise the one I know where to find the easiest is Lidski Kvass in Kaufland, and it's the usual 1.5l roasted kvass kind of ordeal. Too bad they never keep any of those bottles in the cooler, at best they'll keep the "kvass flavored drink" in there which is just fake shit with zero fermentation. Once I found some other Russian brand of kvass, but it was at some specific store and I have no idea where to find it, and I'm sure as hell ain't gonna find it now because of what's happening east of here.
 
It's something that grows on you, there really isn't a Western analog to its flavor so it catches you off guard.
I've found some at Aldi, but it's not called kvass. It's "malted wheat drink/beverage" or something like that, comes in bottles that look like rootbeer.
