Description
Ārpus Brewing Co. is an independent microbrewery, founded in 2017 by craft beer geeks from Latvia. We brew what we love - juicy hop forward ales, fruity sour beers and bold imperial stouts - and we’re proud that Ārpus Brewing Co. is voted as #1 brewery in the Baltic States on Untappd.

We chose Latvian word Ārpus for the name of our brewery, as its meaning reflects the types of beers we brew - outside the box, beyond the mass made lagers, beers with overwhelming flavours and aromas for people brave enough to step out of their comfort zone.

The brewery is located just outside Riga (Latvia), equipped with a 10hL brewhouse and 20hL fermentation vessels. Our beer is packaged in 440mL cans and KeyKegs, then stored in a cold room to keep it fresh longer.

Color amarillo anaranjado, tipo natillas, turbia y opaca, espuma blanca cremosa bien retenida. Delicioso pestazo a fruta tropical, fruta de hueso, hierba, resina y cebolleta. Sedosa, compleja y contundente en boca, repleta de notas frutales, herbales, resinosas...Dulzor licoroso, final amargo y seco... y ese enorme pestazo que emana de la copa cada vez que me la acerco a la boca. Trago corto y con calma, aunque cuidado, el atemperado le hace crecer mucho en matices y puede llegar a saturar, solo para ese momento especial. En cualquier caso: Birrote.

Прям очень странно для саура от Арпус, все остальные что я пробовал были топчиками, но этот как каша из рта деда.

Aus der Dose (bbe 30.06.2026) im 2026-01 getrunken. Diese pupurne Ale macht mit dem Kokos-Aroma und diesem spannenden Frucht-Aroma-Kombination einfach Spaß. Es ist immer wieder überraschend was Ārpus ins Glas zaubert.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with an off white to almost tan quarter finger's head. Sliding lacing.
Aroma: meshes an absolutely wonderful blend of piney/resinous hops to roasty & toasty malts with smooth coffee beans
Flavor: takes the piney/resinous hops to sweetly blend with the roast to add that ample bitter character, nice piney & roasty aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied with lotsa smoothness, minimal bitter sharpness
Overall: absolutely wonderful Black IPA, exceptionally worthy of returning to

Color naranja espesa y turbia como puré de mango, sin espuma. Aroma fresco y frutal, melocotón, mango, piña, sin mayores complicaciones. En boca es un smoothie de mango y piña con un discreto puntito ácido, rica y fresca, aunque carente de complejidad.
