Svyturys Brewery, Klaipeda

The Švyturys Brewery is the country's second oldest brewery, with a rich history dating back to its founding in 1784. Renowned for its iconic emblem adorned with the sea eagle from the Reincke family's coat of arms, the brewery has been a steadfast presence in Lithuania's brewing heritage.

Originally established by merchant J. W. Reincke, the brewery flourished throughout the 19th century, merging with the brewery of landowner Theodor Preuss to become Klaipėda's main beer producer. It crafted a diverse range of traditional Bock beer, Bavarian, and Porter beers, earning accolades such as the Klaipėda International Business Fair award in 1883.

Following World War II, the brewery was rebuilt and renamed Švyturys. Maintaining its commitment to German brewing technology, Švyturys employs both vertical and horizontal containers, fostering the unique characteristics of its beer's taste and aroma. Švyturys has become a modern brewing facility, producing a variety of beers, with Extra Lager standing out as the most decorated Lithuanian beer, earning the Gold Award in the World Beer Cup 2012.

The company has recently introduced a concept known as the 'Bhouse.' This establishment offers a delightful experience where patrons can savor delicious cuisine paired with a refreshing glass of Svyturys in a relaxed and inviting ambiance.
