Genys Brewing Co.

Genys — "the woodpecker" — drums out the tempo of independent Lithuanian craft from Kaunas. Its juicy IPAs like Žirgo Galva, its milkshake ales and fruited sours rank among the country's most sought-after beers, poured in its two taprooms: one in the heart of Kaunas old town on Vilniaus gatvė, with twelve taps and cheese boards, the other in Vilnius, a den of the local craft scene. Regularly cited as Lithuania's coolest independent brewery, Genys embodies the generation that carried Kaunas — interwar capital and UNESCO city of modernism — into the craft beer era.
