Svyturys

There has been an old tradition in Lithuania to bring home brewed beer to relatives and nearest neighbours on every season. That is why beer in Lithuania has always been a symbol of close relationship and friendship. The first brewery was established by Merchant J.W.Reincke in Klaipëda in 1784. Certainly, the enormous commercial success has followed and remained with ÐVYTURYS brewery ever since - for 220 years now. The first medal – an award for beer quality and taste - was awarded to ÐVYTURYS brewers even in 1883. Since then the brewery received lots of various prizes. The most honours ones are: Gold Medal awarded to ÐVYTURIO EKSTRA at the World Beer Championship (USA, “Dortmunder” category) in 2001, Silver Award granted to the same beer at the World Beer Cup (USA, “Dortmunder/European Export” category) in 2000 and the winning of Bronze Award for ÐVYTURIO BALTIJOS beer in the World Beer Cup (USA, Aspen, „Marzen/Octoberfest“ category) in 2002.
