Beer Lovers Party (BLP; Belarusian: Партыя аматараў піва, romanized: Partyja amataraŭ piva; Russian: Партия любителей пива, romanized: Partiya lyubiteley piva) was one of several Beer Lovers Parties created in some post-Soviet states, including Belarus.
According to its statute, "the major goal of the BLP is the struggle for the cleanness and quality of the national beer, state independence and the neutrality of Belarus, freedom of economic relations, personal inviolability and the inviolability of private property".
In 1995 Ramašeŭski was arrested and imprisoned for burning the flag of the Byelorussian SSR in public in protest against the change of national symbols by Belarusian President Lukashenko after a controversial referendum.
He was detained for hooliganism ("злостное хулиганство, совершенном с особым цинизмом", "malicious hooliganism, perpetrated with a pronounced cynicism"), and after 3 months of imprisonment, on 19 July 1996 he received suspended sentence for two years of prison.
