Experience the Pride of Lithuania

Indulge in the rich heritage of Švyturys Ekstra, the flagship beer of the legendary Švyturys brewery in Klaipėda, established in 1784. Recognized globally for its excellence, this is not just a lager; it is a piece of Lithuanian history and the country's most popular beer.

A World-Class Taste Profile

Švyturys Ekstra is a classic Dortmunder-style lager that stands out for its exceptional balance. Pouring a brilliant deep golden hue, it is crowned with a thick, long-lasting white head. The aroma is a harmonious blend of aromatic hops and distinct malt notes. On the palate, you will experience a crisp, refreshing intensity that perfectly balances a mild bitterness with a subtle, underlying sweetness.

Why Choose Švyturys Ekstra?

Unlike standard mass-market lagers, Ekstra is brewed using time-honored traditions and the finest raw ingredients. Its quality was cemented on the global stage when it won the Gold Medal at the World Beer Cup, often referred to as the "Olympics of Beer," in the Dortmunder/European Export category.
