This German style brown ale is brewed in collaboration with Rimvydas Jurėnas – homebrewer from Vilnius and one of the owners of an amazing bar in Vilnius city old town – Alaus biblioteka.
In 2013 Rimvydas has hit the gold in Lithuanian homebrewing competition with this brew. So we scaled it to our system made it available to Alaus biblioteka visitors.
This is true German style Alt, fruity on the nose and really nutty from the malts. Fermented using ale yeast and lagered for two months to make it as smooth as possible.
Limited release aged on chopped hazelnut!

Food pairing: smoked saussage, roasted pork, pretzels.
