The 17th - 18th centuries Gubernija brewery
cellars - so far the oldest known buildings in Siauliai.

Cellars were constantly developed and even
here felt different architectural styles. In the
cellars of Gubernija you can see two-folded ceiling where big ice pieces from
the lake of Talša, were held in-between. Ice helped to keep temperature constant
and suitable for beer whole year.

Gubernija brewery started its work in 1665 and
since the old times was a part of the Gubernija manor that supplied food
provision to the Royal Table. In XVII – XIX Gubernija’s brewery was situated
near the central post-office’s horse road to Petersburg-Berlin-Paris and its
beer was famous all over Europe. In the historical chronicles it is mentioned
that in 1807 Russian Tsar Alexander I with the family on the way to the meeting
with Napoleon Bonaparte in Tilze, was drinking a tasteful beer of Gubernija.

Today as well as before Gubernija can offer
beer of the highest quality – dark, light and ale sort of beer produced according
to a classic technology. We do our best in keeping up with the old traditions
of brewery, naturalness and authenticity in selecting primary products and
subsidiary component as well as following the requirements of traditional
