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

Seems this is new, fresh Smell-weak to medium fruits, mango, pineapple, hops, fruity, nice. Foam- thin, hops, citrus, fruits. The Head is medium-sized, white. Sticks. Appearance-clear/cloudy yellow amber, weak carbonation. From - pint Taste- weak fruits, some hops, citrus, pineapple. Tamed down hazy one, but quite nice in general, not too sweet, and has enough hops to say this is beer. I personally enjoy sweeter ones, but this is still fine.

6.8/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Tap filled to bottle. Smell-medium strong, apricot, hops, fruits. Foam- medium white head, thin, hops, apricot, sweetness, fruits, acidic tones and hit of hops again. Sticks. Appearance- hazy yellow color, few carbonation bubbles. From- pint Taste - hops, then a large hit of apricot, and then one more hit of hops and bitterness. Refreshing, apricoty, and hoppy. I like the balance between bitter hops and apricots. Or maybe I am just thirsty. Easy drinking for sure.

6.4/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Tap filled to bottle Smell-weak, hops, herbal. Foam-thin, sweet, weak sourness, weak acidic notes, bitter bite. Head is small, maybe even tiny white color. Sticks a bit. Appearance- Hazy orange color, weak carbonation. From - pint Taste - bitter-sweet-sour-acidic, very interesting herbal mix, I am getting bitter-cranberry mix, but it must be juniper berries. I like this in a weird way, the bitter-acidic-sour-ish mix works well together and some added sweetness calms it down. Would probably not buy it again, but seems one of the best from the brewery.
