Our company
Our goal is to offer the client a wide stock of quality beer. The parameters of beer process manufacture, equipment used, processes of control and management are determined according to the type, quantity and other peculiarities of the manufactured beer. All of the beer’s manufacture and handling processes are done in such a way that it would be guaranteed that the product does not pose a threat to the consumers’ health, that the fine qualities of Lithuanian beer would be preserved, while the raw materials, substances used and the manufactured beer would correspond to the provisions of the statutes of law, which are in force in the Republic of Lithuania, and the applied normative documents. We are working according to the state-of-the-art technologies, though we do not abandon the Ancient Lithuanians’ formula of barley malt, hops and pure water. This way we accentuate the old traditions and experience of brewery in the land of Pasvalys.
PLC Alsteka (UAB „Alsteka“) specializes in the manufacture of ales. The ales are fermented in high temperature, while the yeasts leavens the mash at the top of reservoir, creating more pronounced and complex aromas of esters. The fermentation time at high temperature is lesser; this gives a spicier, richer taste to the beer, which has a higher alcohol concentration. The ale taste best when it is served at the temperature of 4-10 C°. A family of very dark types of beer emerged from ales that features the tastes and aromas of dark chocolate malt and a potent bitterness of hops. Porter – dark, black or dark brown colour upper fermentation type of beer.
While combining beer with food you can adjust it according to the local cuisine. Often the local cuisine and beer matches and complements each other naturally.
The pale colour ales can be adjusted according to the vast taste palette: from various blue-veined cheeses, meals of meat, fish and poultry to the spicy hot Mexican cuisine and desserts. The rich taste of hops greatly adds to the spicy and hot taste of meals. The bitterness of hops is in contrast with the meals that have been grilled on coals, air-cured and have that some aroma. Porters – the dark and expressive beers are suitable with the meat grilled on coals or smoked, especially – pork. As well as long stewed meat, soupy hotchpotch soups and stake. While adjusting the porters with confectionaries choose the desserts, which have the basis of coffee or chocolate in them. Porters are suitable along with meals seasoned with nuts: with coconuts, groundnuts or roasted almonds
