On our first day in Vilnius, instead of heading to any of the tourist sights in the city, we decided to head instead to Alaus Namai. It turned out to be a wise decision. There was a fantastic selection of beers on tap and in bottles.
I started off with a glass of Lithuanian cider, which was not bad. It tasted almost Perry like. Next up I had the weekly guest beer. It was a dark beer and excellent but I have no idea who produced it, or what is was called. The woman serving said the name but it was to fast for me to catch. Mrs. R had a glass of Varniuku, a dark beer from Pakruojis, which she reported was a good sup.
For lunch I had the special of the day of rolled stuffed pork with mashed potato and a creamy sauce. Mrs.R had chicken with rice and salad. Both meals hit the mark.
The lady serving us spoke good English, and there was an English menu, which helped a great deal. The bar and dinning area was a good size and even during a mid week lunch hour there was a decent amount of customers stopping by for lunch and a beer.
