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.

TCBW2026. Strange pinkish orange red colour (kind of "deep pig skin" colour), small white head. Aroma is watermelon, mint and some slight lime to it. Flavour is watermelon, mint, lime. Doesn't lie in the name. Refreshing, but still somewhat dull.

TCBW2026. Coppery black colour with a small head. Aroma is dried fruits, some liquorice, chocolate and mild alcohol with some slightly wooden tones as well. Flavour is rather similar, but is sadly a wee bit too sweet for my likes.
