"Helles" means "clear" in German and, in fact, this beer is usually pale golden or straw in color. German-style Helles is a bit more neutral in malt and hops than a pale lager or pilsner, but no less full-bodied for that. It is now rapidly gaining popularity in Western Europe, surpassing the lager in Bavaria. This beer is the result of a beautiful association with the royal family of Bavaria and is brewed in accordance with the historic beer purity law.
Rafailas Volfas founds a brewery. The brewery is located in what was then Vilijampole. After Lithuania was occupied by the Soviet Union, the brewery was nationalized. Volfas Engelman beer was commissioned on the occasion of the 60th birthday of President Kazys Grinius. "Ragutis" is privatized and reorganized into a joint-stock company.
