This beer is quite versatile, so it goes well with various dishes, but it is best revealed with light, medium-intensity or salty dishes, which emphasize its freshness and subtle bitterness. Dishes that go well with “1410 Gintarinis”:

• Traditional Lithuanian cuisine: pork chop with potatoes and sauerkraut – a traditional dish goes well with the freshness and bitterness of beer; potato pancakes with sour cream – the lightness of beer perfectly balances this richer dish.
• Central European cuisine: schnitzel with lemon – the bitterness of beer will go well with the crispy layer of schnitzel; German sausages with mustard and sauerkraut – Pilsner is a classic choice next to this combination.

• Grilled meat: Chicken wings or grilled vegetables – the light bitterness of the beer perfectly balances the spices of these dishes. Grilled beef burgers – if you want a simple but tasty combination.
• Vegetarian dishes: Vegetable dishes – roasted asparagus with olive oil and lemon – the freshness goes well with the light body of the beer. Fried mushrooms with garlic and herbs. Salads: Caesar salad with crispy croutons – the freshness of the beer goes well with the saltiness and crunch of the salad.
