Rinkuškiai Brewery

In Biržai, they say that after the Swedes destroyed the town in 1704, the locals rebuilt the brewery before the castle and the town hall. It is in this Lithuanian beer capital that the Čygas-Kalkys family founded Rinkuškiai in 1991, as soon as independence returned. Keeper of the Biržai style — golden, hazy, unpasteurised beers with generous malt, like Alaus Kelias, the "beer road" — the house also nurtures unbridled creativity, from the strong beers of the Werewolf series to the most unexpected recipes. The adjoining restaurant and shop make the brewery a tasty stop in the country's north.
