Joalda

This is a family-run brewery that has been around for more than twenty years. It was founded by Algimantas and Aldona Rimkevičiai in 1994 in Joniškėlis. Algimantas inherited the brewing technologies and traditions from his uncle Antanas.

Joalda is the only brewery in Joniškėlis. At the beginning of the brewery's activities, unfiltered beer was produced in wooden barrels, also called "clay". But as consumer demand changed, Joalda modernized production and the Joniškėlis "clay" turned into filtered beer, which is in demand not only in its own region, but all around.
