Lithuania Does Craft Beer Right

Svyturys makes great craft beer. It is seasonal, it is paired with food, it is amazing. There is something for everyone, even those that do not consider themselves “beer drinkers”. If you find yourself in Northern Europe I highly recommend a tour of their brewery and giving them all a try. The first photograph is of their craft “laboratory”, Here one master crafter works to sort out recipes for upcoming fads and seasons of future beers. I love this idea. It is in the heart of the other workings of the brewery and the tasting rooms. The second image (on the right) is an organizational chart of beers. The nerdy teacher in me loved this.
