Bear & Boar Brewery

In 2018, two friends founded the first craft brewery in Visaginas, the "atomic town" built for the Ignalina power plant and one of Lithuania's greenest. True to its motto "in collaboration with nature", Bear & Boar infuses its beers with the surrounding forest's resources — berries, pine, exotic fruit as counterpoint — around classics like its Baltic Pilsner, rounded out by an alcohol-free line. A victim of its own success, the duo opened in 2024 a brand-new, ultramodern brewery, among the best equipped in the country, which welcomes visits by arrangement. The bear brews, the boar picks the ingredients: the legend continues at the gates of Aukštaitija National Park.
