After a three year reconstruction project, the Svyturys Brewery has finally opened its doors in the Klaipeda port area in Lithuania. Here, beer enthusiasts can find a modern craft beer line, beer museum, gastrobar and shop, and conference and degustation halls – all under one roof. The project is a joint investment between the Carlsberg Group and US-based Brooklyn Brewery – strengthening the partnership between the two brewers even further, in order to excel in the European craft beer market.
Svyturys Brewery is the third major joint project between the Brooklyn Brewery and the Carlsberg Group in Europe. The leaders of the craft beer market in the US have also opened similar craft breweries in Stockholm (Sweden), London (UK) and Trondheim (Norway) in co-operation with Carlsberg.
The renovated brewery will brew craft and specialty beers for the Svyturys and Raudonos Plytos brands. Moreover, new and exciting brews will be created together with brewers from the Brooklyn Brewery – with the brewery being suited to small, experimental batches.
