What does QUASS mean in Scrabble?
noun
regional
A variant spelling of kvass, a mildly alcoholic drink fermented from rye bread or grain.
Quass names the same traditional Eastern European drink usually spelled kvass, made by fermenting rye bread, malt or grain with water and a little sugar or fruit. The finished drink is dark, slightly sour and only weakly alcoholic, closer in strength to beer than to wine or spirits. It has long been an everyday refreshment in Russia, Ukraine and neighbouring countries, sold from street barrels in summer as well as bottled. The spelling quass appears in older English texts describing the drink to readers unfamiliar with the Slavic word.
