Although the name of this beer is apparently similar to the word “hemp” (Lt. Kanapė), this beer has nothing to do with hemp. The name originates from Kanapinis and Lašininis, two Lithuanian folklore characters, who personify spring and winter respectively. Every Shrove Tuesday a battle between the two characters is staged, which ends in a triumphant victory of Kanapinis. We have named this victorious beer in honor of Kanapinis, and due to the fact that the color of the beer is somehow similar to the traditional straw blonde color of Kanapinis’ hair, which remind many of dreadlocks. The beer is unfiltered and rustic, yet clear and, due to the carefully selected hops, perfectly balanced in terms of bitterness and sweetness, the latter of which is only revealed towards the end of every gulp. It is no secret that the brilliance of this beer is in the small and simple details.
No additives – only water, barley malt, hops and beer yeast.
