Nisha on L. Stuokos-Gucevičiaus runs 22 rotating craft taps from Lithuanian and Baltic small breweries, with a flight format for tasting at a cosy Old Town.

Švyturys is Lithuania's oldest brewery, founded 1784 in Klaipėda; the most central Vilnius draught is at Šnekutis Mikalojaus, Ekstra and Baltas on tap.
Tip: The Klaipėda brewery itself runs visits; in Vilnius you taste the draught at any Šnekutis or Halės Deli.
Dundulis is a Lithuanian craft brewery with no Vilnius brewery proper; the most reliable Vilnius draught is at Bukowski in Užupis as the house pour.
Tip: Bukowski for the Dundulis draught. The brewery proper sits north of Vilnius in Aukštaitija.
Genys is one of Vilnius's main independent craft breweries, with a taproom on J. Basanavičiaus running rotating in-house pours from IPA to wild fermentation.
Tip: The garden taproom at Rūdninkų 14 is the summer option. Beer flight is the way to taste the range.
Sakiškių Alus runs from a restored 19th-century industrial building in Naujoji Vilnia, with a 24-tap mezzanine taproom overlooking the brewing floor.
Tip: Out of the centre. Take the bus or share a ride; the brewery tour adds context to the pour.
Kalnapilis has brewed in Panevėžys since 1902 and is the most ubiquitous Lithuanian pilsner across Vilnius bars, the dominant Lithuanian draught lineup.
