The “golden” types of Lithuanian beer were Kalnapilis Original (category Munchner-Style Helles) and Kalnapilis 7.30 (German-Style Heller Bock/Maibock). “Gold medals are a good stimulus for us to develop new beer taste and quality standars in Lithuania”, said Remigijus Sydeikis, Production Director of the Kalnapilis-Tauras Group.
