To contribute to a more detailed analysis of the history of beer, Volfas Engelman initiated the writing of a historical book “From I. B. Volfas and Engelman to Ragutis. The history of the brewery, 1853-2008”. The book introduces the origins and history of industrial beer production. It contains a lot of facts about name changes of the company resulting from the changing political system, beer types that were most popular in the interwar period, and the significance of Kaunas in the history of beer.

From I. B. Volfas and Engelman to Ragutis. The history of the brewery, 1853-2008” was published by the brewery to commemorate the 155th anniversary and was celebrated with the rebirth of the most popular interwar beer, Volfas Engelman.

The second book, “Volfas Engelman, the history of the brewery since 1853” was published not long after. The facts presented in it are illustrated by historical documents from the country’s archives, interesting material from old newspapers and magazines, and stories of former employees who are still alive. The book pays a lot of attention to the last two years, during which the company has undergone many significant changes: revisit of the company’s history, reclamation of its historical name, active integration of the company into the cultural and social life of Kaunas. The company supported about twenty different cultural and social events, initiated special historical and public projects, and offered fresh beer to consumers.

The authors of the book are historians Vilma Akmenytė-Ruzgienė and Giedrė Milerytė.
