About this episode

LL0283 – Skaityti To Read 

 

Hi there, I’m Gintarė and I’m Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.

 

According to the Švyturys webpage, Švyturys beer has been produced in Klaipėda, Lithuania since 1784 - that’s 226 years of beer.  Today the Švyturys and Utenos breweries are controlled by the Danish company Carlsberg.
