In most restaurants or bars in Lithuania that’s what you get if you order “a beer” without specifying what kind. That is, except in the places that don’t carry Svyturys at all due to contracts with competing brands (kinda like the Coke-Pepsi rivalry on a miniature scale).
That’s Curonian Lagoon in the background. The Curonian Spit peninsula separates it from the Baltic Sea.
