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.
TipThe garden taproom at Rūdninkų 14 is the summer option. Beer flight is the way to taste the range.
Sakiškių Alus brews at Dūmų fabrikas in Naujoji Vilnia, the former scythe-factory complex it moved into in 2020, with a tasting bar by the brewing floor.
TipOut 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.
TipNo dedicated brewery tap in Vilnius; the Gedimino pub keeps the original Kalnapilis on draught.
Švyturys is Lithuania's oldest brewery, founded 1784 in Klaipėda; the most central Vilnius draught is at Šnekutis Mikalojaus, Ekstra and Baltas on tap.
TipThe Klaipėda brewery itself runs visits; in Vilnius you taste the draught at any Šnekutis or Halės Deli.
Volfas Engelman has brewed in Kaunas since 1853; the Pilsner and Rinktinis pours show up on most Vilnius pub menus and at Halės Turgus bistro counters.
TipThe Vilnius taste is on draught at most pubs; the Kaunas brewery itself is the only visiting option.
Genys Garden on Rūdninkų is the second Vilnius Genys outpost, a summer-leaning beer garden behind the Town Hall with a pizza counter and rotating taps.
TipOutdoor seating is the draw. Pair a Genys IPA with the in-house pizza.
The Šv. Stepono Šnekutis is the second-original of the chain, pouring 30-plus Lithuanian small-brewery taps including farmhouse and unfiltered styles.
TipA regional Lithuanian-beer flight is the way to use this pub. Cepelinai pair well with the unfiltered farmhouse.
The original Šnekutis on Šv. Mikalojaus showcases small Lithuanian breweries with 30-plus taps of filtered and unfiltered farmhouse ales for tasting.
TipOrder a flight of four small pours to taste the range. Cepelinai are the bar-food match.
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.
TipThe flight is the cheapest way to taste the small-brewery range. The bar list refreshes weekly.
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.
TipBukowski for the Dundulis draught. The brewery proper sits north of Vilnius in Aukštaitija.
