Kalnapilis Brewery

Founded in 1902 in Panevėžys by the German landowner Albert Foigt under the name Bergschlösschen — "the little castle on the hill" — the brewery took its Lithuanian equivalent in 1918: Kalnapilis. More than a century later it is one of the country's great beer names, flagship of the Kalnapilio-Tauro group within Denmark's Royal Unibrew. Its Original and Grand Select lagers rank among Lithuania's best sellers, regularly medalled at international competitions, alongside dark and alcohol-free versions. From the capital of Aukštaitija, its kettles tell the industrial side of Lithuanian brewing.
