Description
In short…
In order to do brewing, you have to be a little bit kooky, you have to look at life from the funny side, and the spark of beer in your eyes is also useful. That's how we woke up one morning and realized: well, this is a story exactly about us.
Let's make beer, we decided. We chose the "most suitable" moment and opened at the beginning of 2020. And we closed immediately. Then we opened again. We closed. In short, we have mastered opening and closing perfectly.
Whether this is a miracle or a science, I honestly have no idea. But in Trophie we have found our eternal engine, with which we operate in spite of everything. And it is said that you can also taste it in our beer.
Yes, we are indeed the smallest brewery in Latvia. Yes, we have the privilege of being able to experiment and make new varieties almost every season. And yes, it gives us real pleasure to share it with you.
So come in for a chat and a glass of special beer in the hidden gem of the Avotu neighborhood.
Respectfully,
Trophy beer heads

On tap at Trofeja, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma reveals earthy, muffled coffee and a strange spicy, herbaceousness. Flavour is likewise very muffled, with a confused, dirty coffee character, earthiness, and some roast. Bad base malts, bad coffee? Not sure which or both. Either way, quite a substandard coffee stout.

On tap at Trofeja, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma has a very strange herbal, spicy character, with a jumbled mix of spiced, herbs and tart citrus. Flavour is a chaotic mix of spices, herbs, quince juice, and tart citrus. Bizarre stuff. Not pleasant at all.

On tap at Trofeja, pours a clear cherry cough drop red with a tiny white head. Aroma has soft cherry cough drop and fermented out, muffled honey. Flavour is dry, with washed out cherry, some weird spiciness, and earthiness. Oddly spicy and herbal. What’s going on here? Poor.

On tap at Trofeja, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma has diacetyl, some piney hops, and light citrus. Flavour actually doesn’t have too bad a butter issue, with piney hops, citrus, and light butter. Still messed up but not egregious.

Draught, shared with Finn at the cool and lively Trofeja Taproom. Coal black body, decent fawn coloured head, spotty lacing. Modest earth malty aromas, not easy to spot the coffee time. Kind of milk coffee to the taste buds. Roasted earthy ending, distant bite of coffee. So and so. (Riga, 09.11.2025).

Draught, shared with Finn at the very lively Trofeja Taproom. Fair white head leaving rings of lace down the glass, misty pale golden body. Modest smell of grassy hops with a citric note. Rather subdued ripe fruity flavours, hints of lemon. Plain fruity ending. Easy to forget. (Riga, 09.11.2025).

Draught, shared with Finn at the lively Trofeja Taproom. Solid glass lacing from a remaining white head, next-to-clear golden body. Malt-fruity aromas, semi-dry. Mixed taste of grainy malts and herbal hops. Malt-fruity finish. Medium bodied. Just okay. (Riga, 09.11.2025).
