About this brewery
The story of Volfas Engelman begins in 1853, when Jewish entrepreneurs Rafailas Volfas and later Ferdinand Engelman built in Kaunas one of the region's first industrial breweries. Nationalised and renamed Ragutis in the Soviet era, the house reclaimed its founders' names in 2011 and today, within Finland's Olvi group, stands as Lithuania's second-largest brewery. Its range runs from traditional lagers to modern IPAs, from kvass to cider, brewed in the heart of the interwar provisional capital. The taproom-studio beside the brewery on Kaunakiemio gatvė lets you taste the output right next to the kettles.
